Right now we silently overflow uint32_t for debug_indfo sections. Added a check
and error out.

Could /maybe/ test this with an assembly test, but it'd still have to generate something like a 4GB file... which probably isn't a great idea. Maybe have a test that's checked in and can be run manually, but I guess no one would ever know it was there/know to run it.
But could you copy/paste some terminal execution that shows this failing/erroring correctly?
Yeah I wasn't sure how to test it. Checking in 4GB test seemed excessive.

error: debug information section offset is greater than 4GB
Regarding our discussion https://discourse.llvm.org/t/dwarf-dwp-4gb-limit/63902. Basically nothing can be done at this point, beyond waiting for DWARF6 spec?
I can add error for string (different diff), but I don't have a test case that will trigger it.
Cool, thanks.

Yeah, followed up on that thread. There's no real user-extension point in the DWARF spec around these fields/records/sections, so I don't immediately see a way to extend things (certainly can't be backwards compatible - it'd mean creating indexes that couldn't be read by other consumers, but I guess that's not the worst thing since the current alternative is not being able to produce something that can be read by any consumer). I'd guess we could invent a "custom" DWARF version (like pick version 200) for the index with the new layout that allows specifying DWARF64, etc. Or we could use a different section name. .debug_{cu,tu}_llvm_index and have llvm-dwp produce that when it'd otherwise overflow and teach lldb to be able to read that.
That will be a big change. It's not only lldb, but also all other llvm tools: dwarfdump, profgen, gsymutil, etc. Let's see if we can get unblocked internally by some other way, but good to know it's not a complete dead end. :)
For this diff, can this land so at least it doesn't succeed silently?

Yep
