What generates custom section with type id == 1?

[justinclift]

In compiler/module.go, there seems to be an initial decoder for custom sections, with the current code looking for a type of 1:

life/compiler/module.go

Line 52 in 57f3819

if err != nil || ty != 1 {

Any idea what generates these sections?

Asking because I'm adding code in my fork to decode the (LLVM 8 generated) custom section containing the function names (type = 4).

It looks like the existing code is meant to do the same thing (extract function names). Not sure what is being used to generate it though, so an curious if maybe it was from an older LLVM release or similar?

@mastersingh24 Any idea? 😄

Git blame points at your commit introducing it: 3f69e3d

Closing this after realising the 4 in LLVM generated name section is just the length of name (the word) in bytes. Not sure what generates the different info expected by the current life code.
