Yes, definitely. I thought about it in two contexts -- regular debugging, and the fact that the OpenCL GSOC project might require looking at debug info for memory spaces and types of arguments. > - ignore the value of this enlarged -g1 and forget the idea > > - adopt the enlarged definition for -g1 and live with the size penalty > > - introduce a new -g1.5 (between DINFO_LEVEL_TERSE and DINFO_LEVEL_NORMAL) > to select the enlarged definition (syntax suggestions wanted) Another possibility, though a much bigger amount of work, would be to introduce -g options like -f. The presence of such an option would imply -g1 or higher, and then you could add -gparameters, -gline-numbers, -gvar-tracking, -gmacros, etc. Paolo
