Hi,
When you add the -gl (debug line info added to compiled executable)
parameter to a project, which unit does it use to gather the debug
information?
LineInfo (via stab information) or LnfoDwrf (via dwarf information)?
How do you toggle between the two? How do I know which one of the two
is being used?
At the moment, when I compile with -gl, then the GetLineInfo doesn't
return any function name information. I then removed the -gl and
explicitly added LnfoDwrf into my project uses clause (thinking that
Stab info might be old and outdated), and still the function name
information return by GetLineInfo was blank. I'm testing on a 64-bit
Linux system.
According to the code in compiler\pmodules.pas (~659) (see below) the
compiler decides this depending on the used debug format. I might be
wrong, but for Linux this should be dwarf.
{ Lineinfo unit }
if (cs_use_lineinfo in current_settings.globalswitches) then begin
if (paratargetdbg = dbg_stabs) then
AddUnit('lineinfo')
else
AddUnit('lnfodwrf');
end;
Regards,
Sven
