Konstantin,
Actually, that change hasn’t been landed. I have been waiting for a fix in the clang toolchain. I have provided that fix to the clang team, but it hasn’t landed yet.
I posted my DWARF2 changes to the bug: <https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=152703> - “offlineasm: Emit Dwarf2 file and location directives to allow for debugging .asm files”.
I’ll work with the clang team to get that change done.
If you are willing, it would be good to get gcc/gdb working with the change as well. I only did changes for the compiler (clang) and CPUs (X86, ARM & ARM64) that I could test.
