Re: excessive stab information


Hi Daniel,

That's not quite the same thing; this links debug information into the
executable, then copies it elsewhere.  Ian's describing an approach of
leaving the debug info in unlinked object files and then referencing it
from the executable - never including it at all.

Oh - sorry. That does sound like an interesting optimisation.


I believe Sun's compiler does this.

I wonder if they will release the source code... :-)


Cheers
  Nick
