This is Andi's backport for unused types pruning.  I (matz) have only added
the option to disable it again.

From: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de>
Subject: More compact dwarf2 information for gcc (with patch)
Date: Sun, 2 Mar 2003 07:43:14 +0100

I ported Scott Snyder's dwarf2 compression patch that was recently
posted on the gcc mailing list to the SuSE gcc. What it does is to
not dump types to the debugging information that are not referenced
to dwarf2.

The main change compared to the patch (which was against 3.4 mainline)
was to not use varrays which do not seem to exist in that tree.
I just cloned the file_table dynamic array instead.

I enabled it by default. In theory it makes a difference when you try
to reference a type that is not used in the program from gdb,
but referencing just types seems to be somewhat pointless
to me (especially when such a obscure feature eats >100MB of disk space
in the build), so I just enabled it by default.

gcc also seems to have an -feliminate-dwarf2-dups option which may 
further help (but is off by default for some reason). Perhaps
it can be considered for turning on too? Or is there some problem
with it I am missing?

Just applying the patch makes a nice difference (without
-feliminate-dwarf2-dups)

e.g. this is a simple x86-64 kernel compilation with -g. The tree
is stripped down with only minimal drivers enabled.

before:

build tree size 528M
-rwxr-xr-x    1 ak       users         44M 2003-03-02 02:25 vmlinux
random object file:
1356440  276 -rw-r--r--   2 ak       users      276312 Mar  2 01:45 ./kernel/sys

after:
ld tree size 411M
-rwxr-xr-x    1 ak       users         30M 2003-03-02 07:26 vmlinux

-rw-r--r--    2 ak       users      206096 2003-03-02 07:22 kernel/sys.o

Both the final executable and the object files shrink nicely.
Also the compilation is faster because gcc has to do much less IO
(compilation with -g seems to be mostly IO bound)

Can we please consider this patch for inclusion into the 3.3 SuSE gcc ?

-Andi
