--- Comment #19 from Richard Biener <rguenth at gcc dot gnu.org> --- (In reply to H.J. Lu from comment #18) > Created attachment 34753 [details] > A patch even for -flto-partition=none we produce 45: 0000000000000000 0 FILE LOCAL DEFAULT ABS ccPyi2gu.o In theory we can also emit a .file directive before each variable/function we output (from location info). I suppose the debugger consumes them for backtraces? Thus produce .file "test.c" .text .globl main .type main, @function main: .LFB0: .cfi_startproc pushq %rbp .cfi_def_cfa_offset 16 .cfi_offset 6, -16 movq %rsp, %rbp .cfi_def_cfa_register 6 call helper popq %rbp .cfi_def_cfa 7, 8 ret .cfi_endproc .LFE0: .size main, .-main .file "dependency.c" .type helper, @function helper: .LFB1: .cfi_startproc pushq %rbp .cfi_def_cfa_offset 16 .cfi_offset 6, -16 movq %rsp, %rbp .cfi_def_cfa_register 6 movl $1, %eax popq %rbp .cfi_def_cfa 7, 8 ret .cfi_endproc .LFE1: .size helper, .-helper .ident "GCC: (GNU) 5.0.0 20150213 (experimental)" .section .note.GNU-stack,"",@progbits but appearantly as/ld doesn't handle multiple global .file directives well? I get 45: 0000000000000000 0 FILE LOCAL DEFAULT ABS dependency.c 46: 0000000000000000 0 FILE LOCAL DEFAULT ABS test.c 47: 00000000004005b1 11 FUNC LOCAL DEFAULT 13 helper ... 71: 00000000004005a6 11 FUNC GLOBAL DEFAULT 13 main so 'helper' is associated with test.c wrongly(?)

I'm going to test an adjusted patch using in_lto_p again.
