But 200 Mb of info for 10Mb executable is too much. How do you think?
I personally don't care at all.
I don't believe that other compilers on windows generates so fat
output for dwarf. Do you know any similar numbers for gcc?
No, since I don't use Windows.
It's hard to compare with Mac OS X, because there
a) the DWARF debug info is not linked into the final binary, it just
remains in the original object files (and the application contains
references to the object files)
b) you can use a (closed source) utility called dsymutil that goes
through all object files of a program, collects the DWARF information,
removes the duplicate information and then generates an external file
that contains the unified debug information for the entire application
GDB on Mac OS X can work with the debug information in both cases a)
and b)
