Hi. > How does the gcc -g option affect performance? I had asked this question before, and the consensus seemed to be that, a) gcc -g doesn't change the executable code that is produced. It only adds static information to the binary. b) The only reason binaries with debug information run slower is their size. c) If all the debug information is removed using "strip", the resulting code is as good as a code compiled without the "-g" option. My question is: Is there any *official* gnu documentation that clearly guarantees the above is the case? I searched high and low but I haven't come across any! I'd really appreciate any help in this matter. Regards, Vishnu. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
