True, but it doesn't fully support gcc 3.4.x due to the .rdata alignment issue: http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2004-09/msg01263.html > Whatever we can do to make dwarf-2 the default for cygwin should be > done. I think we should start by simply enabling its output in gcc 3.4.x via -gdwarf-2. It appears that Gerrit included my patches to do this in the current 3.4.1 experimental release (Thanks, Gerrit.). Then, we can test and determine if it should be the default debugging output instead of stabs. This decision should be entirely independent of the DWARF 2 vs. sjlj EH one, which I have no opinion or expertise with. And BTW, we need a new gdb to handle DWARF 2. > Oh, and I forgot, can we get two gold stars for Brian Ford for > spearheading the dwarf-2 effort for cygwin?
