# Loose Ends Table F.2.3 DWARF5 Page 405

"The .debug_loclists.dwo section contains the location
lists referenced by DW_AT_location attributes in the
.debug_info.dwo section. This section has a similar format
to the .debug_loclists section in a non-split object,
but it has some small differences as explained in Section
7.7.3 on page 226."

Page 405 line 22.

7.7.3 has no explanation whatever.
It is just a list of DW_LLE names, so the
reference is incorrect.

I've not found any such explanation in the document.

DWARF6 current draft has small changes
in F.2.3, but the
link is still not helpful.

Is the note intended to be about using addrx etc instead of an address
in .debug_loclists.dwo ? Something else?
