To improve debugging, instructions should be annotated with DWARF is_stmt. The DWARF default before was is_stmt=1, and to remove "jumpy" stepping the optimizer was tagging instructions with a no-position position, which interferes with the accuracy of profiling information. This allows that to be corrected, and also allows more "jumpy" positions to be annotated with is_stmt=0 (these changes were not made for 1.10 because of worries about further messing up profiling). The is_stmt values are placed in a pc-encoded table and passed through a symbol derived from the name of the function and processed in the linker alongside its processing of each function's pc/line tables. The only change in binary size is in the .debug_line tables measured with "objdump -h --section=.debug_line go1.test" For go1.test, these are 2614 bytes larger, or 0.72% of the size of .debug_line, or 0.025% of the file size. This will increase in proportion to how much the is_stmt flag is used (toggled).
