Wasm: missing DWARF info support

[kassane]

Environment

OS: ArchLinux CPU: x86_64(zen3) LDC version: master (ref.: v1.40.0-beta6) Emscripten version: 3.1.73 (LLVM 20)

I have been attempting to get results in flamegraph for wasm and debugging too. However, the binary generated doesn't identify dwarf.

Flags added: -g --exception-model=wasm -wasm-enable-eh

output error

The dwarf version can be customized via -dwarf-version.

So looks like emcc requires v5 then. I doubt any of this is LDC-related, all Emscripten toolchain specifics.

emcc + zig works.

Some toolchains have succeeded in doing this and some haven't. For example, zig automatically emits dwarf 5 into debug mode, rust hasn't fully solved the wasm-pack (https://github.com/rustwasm/wasm-pack/issues/1351) problem yet and C and C++ emscripten works normally in debug mode too.

--- edit

fix: rust emit Dwarf in debug, too. ref.: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/nodejs/nodejs-debugging#_debugging-webassembly

[kinke]

Well AFAICT from your output is that your emcc (which version?) doesn't support DWARF 5. warning: unsupported DWARF version (5) doesn't come from LDC itself (nor from LLVM I guess), but probably from emcc which then aborts. https://github.com/emscripten-core/emscripten/issues/14241 mentions that v5 is required for wasm. And in https://issues.chromium.org/issues/40888941, they use emcc -gdwarf-5. That should be analogous to -g -dwarf-version=5 with LDC.

[kassane]

emcc (which version?) doesn't support DWARF 5

Emscripten version: 3.1.73 (LLVM 20)

[kinke]

Hmm, testing -gc instead of -g might be worth a try (using C++ as DWARF language then instead of D).

[kassane]

Hmm, testing -gc instead of -g

Same error, here!!

But, in my test replaced -g from emcc to -gsource-map to extracting dwarf map, works.

Couldn't that be because the flag is spelled --gc ? There's also --write-experimental-debuginfo which is llvm-specific.

[kassane]

There's also --write-experimental-debuginfo which is llvm-specific.

Sorry I'm late. I also tested this flag (with/out --gc) and the result was no change.

But, in my test replaced -g from emcc to -gsource-map to extracting dwarf map, works.

This, works!
