Hi, Could someone please help me with the following? According to the gcc man page, the -g option "produces debugging information in the operating system's native format". Does anyone know what kind "debugging information" gcc produces with the -g option? The binary evidently gets bloated, but does gcc actually generate extra executable code, or does it merely add static information on symbols, lines etc.? Most importantly, apart from issues caused by large program size, is there a performance penalty to be paid for programs compiled using -g? Thanks in advance! Regards, Vishnu. __________________________________ Celebrate Yahoo!'s 10th Birthday! Yahoo! Netrospective: 100 Moments of the Web http://birthday.yahoo.com/netrospective/
