--- Comment #17 from Peeter Joot <peeter.joot at gmail dot com> 2013-05-10 20:59:48 UTC --- Looks like ICC is definitely triggering this (we are getting close to the limit with g++ too). With g++: $ objcopy --only-keep-debug libdb2e.so.1 libdb2e.so.1.debug $ objcopy --strip-debug libdb2e.so.1 libdb2e.so.1.nodebug $ ls -l libdb2e.so.1.debug libdb2e.so.1.nodebug -rwxr-xr-x 1 peeterj pdxdb2 2336638415 2013-05-10 16:17 libdb2e.so.1.debug -rwxr-xr-x 1 peeterj pdxdb2 390515219 2013-05-10 16:18 libdb2e.so.1.nodebug With ICC: -rw-r--r-- 1 peeterj pdxdb2 6308565713 2013-05-10 16:11 libdb2e.so.1.debug -rw-r--r-- 1 peeterj pdxdb2 501988212 2013-05-10 16:17 libdb2e.so.1.nodebug The intel shared lib is 1.28x bigger, but it is generating 2.7x times more debug code with -g (for a grand total of 5.9 Gb of -g info). -- Configure bugmail: http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ bug-binutils mailing list bug-binutils@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-binutils
