Hmm, according to the discussion in this thread, this spec is under discussion
(still?). As far as I can see the "DWARF Debugging Information Format Version 5"
2.14, it says "The value 0 indicates that no source line has been specified."
But the description will be updated(?)
http://wiki.dwarfstd.org/index.php?title=DWARF5_Line_Table_File_Numbers

Let me update the series so that carefully remove the "broken". Maybe "clang"
DWARF5?

Thank you,
