When comparing the sizes of the index files generated for shlib outputs/gdb.dwarf2/dw2-zero-range/shr1.sl, I noticed a large difference between .debug_names: ... $ gdb -q -batch $shlib -ex "save gdb-index -dwarf-5 ." $ du -b -h shr1.sl.debug_names shr1.sl.debug_str 61 shr1.sl.debug_names 0 shr1.sl.debug_str ... and .gdb_index: ... $ gdb -q -batch $shlib -ex "save gdb-index ." $ du -b -h shr1.sl.gdb-index 8.2K shr1.sl.gdb-index ... The problem is that the .gdb_index contains a non-empty symbol table with only empty entries. Fix this by making the symbol table empty, such that we have instead: ... $ du -b -h shr1.sl.gdb-index 184 shr1.sl.gdb-index ... Tested on x86_64-linux.
