[Dwarf-Discuss] Resend Encoding large constant values

[Cary Coutant]

> Other debug formats that I've seen represented large constant values by encoding the constant value a sequence of bytes, in the target platform's byte order. The number of bytes in the constant value is (at least) as long as the length of the type of the named constant. This is very convenient for the debugger because it does not need to figure out if it has to convert the value of the named constant to some other format that matches its type.

Isn't DW_FORM_block* the form you're looking for?
