Thanks!

Would it be possible to the StringMap to the existing test? (Note that the debug-info tests are not run as part of the pre-merge checks, you need to run them manually).

Disclaimer: I have no Python experience.

Have you considered using a generator function? I suspect it might avoid the self.first toggle and generally make the implementation a little simpler.

You are right, I haven't even thought of that. It looks much nicer as a generator function!

Any chance we could avoid hardcoding the tombstone value here? I guess maybe if the source were modified to store the tombstone value as a constexpr (not sure if it could be constexpr - with the pointer bitfiddling, etc - but maybe) member of StringMapImpl, would that be accessible from the pretty printer reliably?

I could call StringMapImpl::getTombstoneVal() from gdb to get it, but that depends on that function to not be optimized out. But this kind of function is pretty likely to be inlined and optimized out even with -O1. Even with a constexpr member I think that would have the same problems.

Yeah, relying on a function call would be problematic for the reason you mentioned & for the fact that then you can't debug a core dump (because you can't execute the function) and otherwise risk corrupting the target process by running code when trying to pretty print.

But I don't think Clang will optimize out a constexpr member & the value could be queried without executing code:

Read tombstone value from a constexpr variable. The getTombstoneVal() function
is still necessary, though, as reinterpret_cast is not a constant expression.

You are right, it also works with gcc! I changed it.
