Ok... but sometimes it may be "nice" to have a non-optimized binary... ... would it be possible/usefull to add something like a "-D" switch to "bldenv" which turns debugging "on" and the optimizer "off" (or uses -"xO0", assuming dbx doesn't switch to it's "restricted" mode in this case) ? ---- Bye, Roland -- __ . . __ (o.\ \/ /.o) [EMAIL PROTECTED] \__\/\/__/ MPEG specialist, C&&JAVA&&Sun&&Unix programmer /O /==\ O\ TEL +49 641 7950090 (;O/ \/ \O;) _______________________________________________ opensolaris-code mailing list opensolaris-code@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/opensolaris-code
