Name        : dwz
Product     : Fedora 19
Version     : 0.11
Release     : 1.fc19
URL         : None
Summary     : DWARF optimization and duplicate removal tool
Description :
The dwz package contains a program that attempts to optimize DWARF
debugging information contained in ELF shared libraries and ELF executables
for size, by replacing DWARF information representation with equivalent
smaller representation where possible and by reducing the amount of
duplication using techniques from DWARF standard appendix E - creating
DW_TAG_partial_unit compilation units (CUs) for duplicated information
and using DW_TAG_imported_unit to import it into each CU that needs it.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:

gdb bumped its version of .gdb_index to workaround some gold bug, but dwz was prepared to only handle .gdb_index up to version 7, not the 8 currently emitted.  This means .gdb_index was dropped rather than adjusted, which means slower gdb handling of programs.

ChangeLog:

* Tue Jul  2 2013 Jakub Jelinek <jakub at redhat.com> 0.11-1
- handle .gdb_index version 8 (#969454)
