[Dwarf] New language name for Move

[ksolana]

As move->llvm compiler is in the works. There is a need to have Dwarf attribute supporting move programming language.

As per https://dwarfstd.org/languages.html: "Between revisions of the Standard, new language codes may be requested by submitting a request on the Public Comment page."

It can be based on a recent request by Mojo: https://dwarfstd.org/issues/230502.1.html

@jcivlin FYI

Sounds like a great idea. We discuss at the next Move community meeting, I think you, Mysten, Aptos and other can co-sign this. I can work on the form after we discussed.

We need a new value LLVMDWARFSourceLanguage::LLVMDWARFSourceLanguageMove likewise llvm to support and generate Dwarf info for all Move language constructs.

Can you link to/quickly describe whats the difference, meaning wise and process wise? Can we get both with one request?

[ksolana]

There are two steps

1. Email dwardstd https://dwarfstd.org/languages.html as mentioned in the issue description.
2. Once that is approved, put a patch to llvm-project with an entry like LLVMDWARFSourceLanguage::LLVMDWARFSourceLanguageMove

1 needs to happen first. But we can do the changes in our internal llvm fork with second part to make progress.

[ksolana]

I haven't. Please go ahead.

Looks like we dropped the ball on this. Is it still a thing?

[ksolana]

Yeah, we are expecting the move language designers to propose this to the DWARF committee.
