This is probably a better reference than the man page: http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Debugging-Options.html > Thoughts? Note with gcc-4.8: DWARF4 is now the default when generating DWARF debug information. When -g is used on a platform that uses DWARF debugging information, GCC will now default to -gdwarf-4 -fno-debug-types-section.
