DWARF for static members are wrong

[ghost]

It appears that LDC generates standard member info, leading GDB to read the memory with an invalid address

Information generated seem to confirm that

The behavior with Ubuntu 22's gdb v12.1 on my box is different; it 'just' shows a garbage value if the global is a TLS var.

E.g., with a thread-global var:

struct S {
    shared static int a = 666;
    int b;
}

int main() {
    S s;
    return s.a;
}

Breakpoint 1, _Dmain () at test.d:8
8       return s.a;
(gdb) p s
$1 = {b = 0, static a = 666}
(gdb) p s.a
$2 = 666
(gdb) p S.a
$3 = 666
(gdb) p test.S.a
$4 = 666
(gdb) p S.b
Cannot reference non-static field "b"

To be frank, I know that the LLVM API for DWARF info has a function for static members. But I cant find an open sourced language that is able to use it correctly. Possibly the problem would be that a GDB "expression" would have to be created to have the propoer access.

In other words...if you fix this problem, that will help, and not only D programmers.
