* Debug info: :partial:`Minimal`. Clang emits both CodeView line tables
(similar to what MSVC emits when given the ``/Z7`` flag) and DWARF debug
information into the object file.
Microsoft's link.exe will transform the CodeView line tables into a PDB,
enabling stack traces in all modern Windows debuggers. Clang does not emit
any CodeView-compatible type info or description of variable layout.
Binaries linked with either binutils' ld or LLVM's lld should be usable with
GDB however sophisticated C++ expressions are likely to fail.
* Debug info: :good:`Mostly complete`. Clang emits relatively complete CodeView
debug information if ``/Z7`` or ``/Zi`` is passed. Microsoft's link.exe will
transform the CodeView debug information into a PDB that works in Windows
debuggers and other tools that consume PDB files like ETW. Work to teach lld
about CodeView and PDBs is ongoing.
* RTTI: :good:`Complete`. Generation of RTTI data structures has been
finished, along with support for the ``/GR`` flag.
