Hi,
We used to have a debug option -gdwarf+ when we were using gcc 2.95. However when we changed to higher version of gcc, we got these errors:
In gcc (GCC) 3.2, we got the warning: cc1: warning: 'dwarf+': unknown or unsupported -g option
In gcc version 3.4.2, we got the error: cc1: error: unrecognised debug output level "dwarf+"
After I checked the latest gcc manual, I found that this option has been removed from gcc.
The problem is, we have a very large source file and we use GDB. If we use the default -g option, gdb is unable to break or list at linenumber beyong a certain limit (e.g. break at linenumber 1000000). We also tried -gstabs+ and -ggdb but neither can work out. And since we use GDB, some of the debug options are not applicable. We also tried -gxcoff+ using gcc 3.4.2 but got an error: target system does not support the "xcoff" debug format. The system we are using is SunOS 5.8 sparc. Anyone has idea how to solve this problem? Thanks!
