Dear Sirs.
Sometimes I watch compiling 'world' or 'kernel' and recognize some '-g'
options while compiling, especially when doing so with a FreeBSD
5.X-STABLE branch.
Are all pre-releases of FreeBSD due to development and bug tracking
'tagged' with debugger options and do they go away with a 'RELEASE' (or
is this simply a stupid rumor that all STABLE versions are still tagged
to be debugged)?
The default compile options for FreeBSD (including -STABLE, -CURRENT as
well as releases) do not include any debug flags.
The reason why I ask is simple. I need my FreeBSD box for scientific
researches and would like to squeeze out as much power as possible and
therefor debugging options are meant to slow down code.
Even if you do compile with '-g' it will not slow down the code at all.
The only drawback will be that the extra debug info will take up extra
space on the disk.
I'm not a development thug, so if this question sound stupid, I would
regret bothering you. Hope someone will answer.
