Therefore we simply enable ASLR only when an I don’t know if it stands true when combined with something like -ggdb3, but I may be very wrong.

Perhaps it’s better to check for -g (and its variants[1]) as the user clearly states their intent to debug the resulting binary, rather than checking for special cases. > Does that work for you? > > Ciao, > Dscho > [0] https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Optimize-Options.html#index-Og [1] https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Debugging-Options.html Cheers, Alban
