[Dwarf-discuss] class members and DW_AT_specification

[Chris Quenelle]

g++ seems to generate two dies for each member function.
A declaration die inside the class scope, and a definition
die at the compilation-unit scope.  The definition is hooked
to the declaration with a DW_AT_specification, which seems fine.

Is there some reading of the dwarf standard that might make this
the required or recommended way of doing things?  Or was this
done for some kind of implementation-specific reason in
either g++ or gdb?

Anyone have any ideas?
