[Dwarf-discuss] DW_LANG value 0x0029

[Ron Brender]

David,

You are talking about the Version 5 codes actually, more precisely those
added during Version 6 development. (Version 6 uses DW_LNAME, not DW_LANG
prefixes.) Yes, I see 0x0029 is unused. I see no reason not to fill
in that hole.

Since Cary is the keeper of that list for V5 (and V6) I suppose it is his
call.

Ron
