Hi list, the strings in the ".debug_str" section are output in an arbitrary order. Could this be changed?
The function 'output_indirect_strings' in 'gcc/dwarf2out.c' uses htab_traverse which then outputs the string in the order they appear in the hash table. Instead, it would be nicer to output them based on their labels (which are assigned based on the order of creation). This would minimize differences between builds with slightly different build environments, e.g. directory. Martin
