https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D259790 --- Comment #1 from Michael Dexter <editor@callfortesting.org> --- Some background kindly from the wilds that may help with a concise descript= ion: "CTF is designed to represent C types in a more compact format (and simply) than DWARF. It's used extensively in illumos with dtrace, as well as for sy= stem debugging. ctfmerge specifically will uniqify the data from all the constitutate .o files (think how many files will have a definition of pid_t, etc)" https://github.com/illumos/illumos-gate/blob/master/usr/src/uts/common/sys/= ctf.h#L38-L56 --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
