One might argue that not including unused static(!) const vars that might come

from headers in all TUs is a good thing - for debug info size, for example.

Definitely debug info is already way too large - and we don't include

optimized out functions either (so you cannot do inferior calls to them

from the debugging session).  I don't really see the difference between

functions and variables here.  Functions even don't print <optimized out>

but just



(gdb) start

Temporary breakpoint 1 at 0x4004c4: file t.c, line 5.

Starting program: /tmp/t 



Temporary breakpoint 1, main () at t.c:5

5       }

(gdb) p foo

No symbol "foo" in current context.

(gdb) p foo ()

No symbol "foo" in current context.





testcase:



static int foo (void) { return 1; }

int main()

{

  return 0;

}





at least can we emit this info on unused stuff with -g3 only?
