Hi,
Back in January someone provided a patch to allow gdb to accept code
generated with the gcc option -feliminate-dwarf2-dups. This patch could
not be accepted for various reasons detailed in a thread on gdb-patches
(http://sources.redhat.com/ml/gdb-patches/2004-01/msg00386.html).
At the time others indicated that this feature would be added very
soon, however it appears as though it is still outstanding. Is this
correct? Is anyone working on a patch for this feature? We are stuck
using gcc 2.95.3 because our debug binary is over 900M already, it gets
_much_ bigger if we use gcc 3.x - however this duplicate removal helps
keep the blowout somewhat reasonable.
Are there others who need this patch?
Cheers,
Craig.
