I think this discussion has gotten totally sidetracked. When I said I was in favor of strings, I didn't mean messages that would ever be displayed! It's the difference between DW_TAG_compile_unit and "compile-unit". It is no more work for the producer or for the consumer, it's clearer, and conflicts are much less likely. The only downside is that it's larger. But with string duplicate elimination - your linker can do that, I hope - it's only larger by a trivial amount. -- Daniel Jacobowitz CodeSourcery
