That's bollocks. It results in a larger binary _on disk_. The symbol table isn't even loaded into memory and doesn't affect performance. Debug information is *highly useful* in a production setup, and we try to run all our core applications with it so we have a chance to debug issues when they occur. I think the only reason distributions omit debug information is to save disk space. -- Mark Bergsma <[email protected]> Lead Operations Architect Wikimedia Foundation _______________________________________________ Labs-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/labs-l
