Hello,

Transcribing it here because not everyone may see it.
 From the PR https://github.com/dlang/dmd/pull/11509:

wilzbach:
 Add `-gdwarf-<version>` compiler switch

Shouldn't the switch be -gdwarf=5 to be consistent with DMD's 
other flags? Then, it's also >possible for the user to list all 
available options.

me:
 Maybe, but Clang and GCC have the -gdwarf-<version> switch, so 
 I added the same for consistency between different compilers. 
 What do you think ?

wilzbach:
 I think sticking to the DMD style makes more sense here, 
 because I am not sure a lot of people would like to have at 
 least three more CLI flags. IIRC there has been a precedent 
 with make flags. What do other people think?

So, what's your point of view, guys ?

If ldc or gdc wish to offer another style they may.

I'd opt for the compact DMD-style too. LDC already has such a 
flag (--dwarf-version=N).
