Bug ID: 61652 Summary: Option --enable-libstdcxx-debug doesn't pass debug options to libstdc++.so Product: gcc Version: 4.8.2 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: c++ Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: yuri at tsoft dot com Based on documentation here https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/libstdc++/manual/debug.html I configured gcc to build a debug version of libstdc++.so: $ ../src/configure --prefix=/opt/gcc/4.8.2/ --enable-libstdcxx-debug --enable-libstdcxx-debug-flags='-g3 -O0' $ gmake It did build another version of libstdc++.so with different size under lib/debug/, but both of them have local variables optimized away. I am interested in ../src/libstdc++-v3/libsupc++/dyncast.cc, touching it and rebuilding shows that -O0 hasn't been passed to the compile command, and it builds with -O2.
