# Add Language Codes For Roc Programming Language

## Background

Roc is a "fast, friendly, functional
[programming] language" quickly advancing toward its first numbered
release. The Roc compiler currently generates DWARF info in its
compiled binaries to aid debugging and the community would appreciate
recognition in the DWARF standard.

## Overview

The Roc community politely requests

1. the assignment of a Language and Version Code for the Roc
programming language for DWARF Version 6; and
2. the assignment of a Language Code for the Roc programming language
for DWARF Version 5.

## Proposed Changes

For DWARF Version 6, we propose the following addition:

| Language | Language Code (`DW_AT_language_name`)| Value | Default Lower Bound |Version Scheme |
| -- | -- | -- | -- | -- |
| Roc | `DW_LNAME_Roc` | _TBD_ | `0` | VVMMPP |

For DWARF Version 5, we propose the following addition:

| Language Name | Value | Default Lower Bound |
| -- | -- | -- |
| `DW_LANG_Roc` | _TBD_ | `0` |
