.gnu_debugaltlink
is generated bydwz
, which is used by Linux distributions to deduplicate debugging information between multiple binaries. For example,coreutils
binaries share agnu_debugaltink
file, as do thepython
executable andlibpython
. In fact, in the Python case, almost all of the debugging information is in thegnu_debugaltlink
file.844d828 added just enough support so that we could load debug files using
.gnu_debugaltlink
. But, we don't index any information from the alt file, so type and object lookups from the alt file still fail.Supporting this will enable debugging Linux distribution packages, like Python, that use
.gnu_debugaltlink
