[$] Compact formats for debugging—and more

At the 2025 Linux Plumbers Conference in Tokyo, Stephen Brennan gave a
presentation on the debuginfo
format, which contains the symbols and other information needed for
debugging, along with some alternatives. Debuginfo files are large and, he
believes, are a bit scary to customers because of the “debug” in their name.
By rethinking debuginfo and the tools that use it, he hopes that
free-software developers “can add new, interesting capabilities to tools
that we are already using or build new interesting tools“.
