[Dwarf-discuss] Request to add new constant for V Language

[Jakub Jabłoński]

Dear DWARF-discuss List,

I hope this email finds you well.

I'm writing on behalf of whole V dev team to propose the addition of a new constant to the DWARF debugging information standard to better support the V programming language. V languge currently relies on transpilation to C, but for better debugging experience we are working currently on direct native support. Therefore to identify new language I propose adding:

DW_LNAME_V 0x002d

to be used with DW_AT_language_name attribute.

Could you please also advise if it is still necessary to add DW_LANG_V constant (for DW_AT_language) with version 6 of the standard ?

I believe this addition would greatly improve the debugging experience for V programs and enable better tooling support. I'm happy to discuss this further and provide any additional information you may need.

Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Jakub Jabłoński
