DWARF v6 Language and Version Codes


Issue 210419.1 introduced a way to separately specify languages and versions which is expected to be adopted for DWARF Version 6. As described in the proposal, each supported language has a specified value for DW_AT_language_name and each version of that language has a unique DW_AT_language_version.

New language codes and version codes may be requested by submitting a request on the Public Comment page.
