221203.1 David Blaikie Remove suggestion that DW_FORM_sec_offset may not be used for lists in splitunit Error Open David Blaikie


Section 7.28,7.29, pg 242,244
Both 7.28 (Range List Table) and 7.29 (Location List Table) mention, in a 
non-normative comment:

"[use of rnglistx] is necessary in split units and may be more compact than 
using DW_FORM_sec_offset in non-split units"

But figure B.2 (page 278, explained on page 280) says that DW_FORM_sec_offset 
may be used to reference .debug_rnglists.dwo from .debug_info.dwo.

I think the latter is correct & the former non-normative comments should be 
removed/amended.
