Some questions about the default DFLAGS settings in Phobos and
Druntime makefiles:
1. Why is -g or -gc not used? Are there any situations where
the presence of debug information in the static library
undesirable?
2. Why is -inline not used in Phobos?
3. Any reason why -gs is not used?
Just to get some extra feedback: LDC currently ships with 2
versions of the standard library, a release one built with the
equivalent of "-O -release -inline", and a debug one built with
"-g".
The debug one is set as "-debuglib" and thus automatically used
every time the user compiles their code with "-g", which could
lead to some unnecessary slowdowns, as not every time you want to
debug into the standard library code. On the other hand, you
typically _do_ want to have the assertions in the standard
library turned on when you debug your own code, so...
