I wasn't trying to be pompous! It's just our project name, but I thought fission to be quite appropriate for what it does. How does -gsplit or -gsplit-dwarf work for you? Or -gsplit-debug? -g is already supposed to convey the debug, so I think that -gsplit-dwarf is the best proposal (and

For google/gcc-4_6 branch. (To be submitted for trunk soon.) The option name sounds like the brainchild of the marketing department. :-) Can we avoid going nuclear in the compiler and use something more mundane? -- Eric Botcazou

I, for one, welcome our new nuclear overlords. AFAICS the internal switch is called dwarf_split_debug_info so a short moniker based on it would be more understandable (and avoid a useless pomposity). -- Eric Botcazou

Add GCC support for -gfission option. Debug info is partitioned into skeleton sections that will remain in the .o file, and dwo sections that will be moved to a .dwo file. After compilation, the gcc driver calls objcopy twice: once to extract the dwo sections into the .dwo file, and a second
