How useful would it be for the compilation process to produce a binary
as well as a symbols file for everyone?
My usecase would be to be able to archive just the binary and symbols in
a cache folder so I don't need to compile it again when testing testcases.
Currently if I just keep the binary, I don't get symbols, but if I keep
the entire objdir (on Mac), it seems to be pretty big (650MB).
A middle ground would be to just keep the libjs_static.a file, that's
150MB - keeping ICU and NSPR .a files would push that up to 250MB (or
not keep them if we don't care about ICU/NSPR symbols, but we probably
should). And these sizes are per-changeset.
Moreover, the original path to libjs_static.a has to be kept, i.e. no
renaming/moving of the .a file, otherwise the symbols cannot be found.
(These observations were made on a Mac, which does not have gdb,
objcopy, objdump, but instead has lldb)
Thoughts?
