actually --enable-debug also sets OSL_DEBUG_LEVEL (enables tracing). also --enable-dbgutil defines DBG_UTIL which causes some extra debugging/checking code to be enabled. (and it used to be the case that --enable-dbgutil by itself left optimization enabled but apparently nowadays it disables that.) > So to reflect what these options mean exactly one should name it as follows: > enable-symbols: --enable-symbols-and-preserve-optimization > enable-debug: --enable-symbols-and-disable-optimization > enable-dbgutil: > --enable-symbols-and-disable-optimization-and-enable-debugstl-and-enable-trace-facility > > Given that we don't want to rename two last options, we are trying to > find a new (less confusing and not so long) name > for the first one: > --enable-symbols-and-preserve-optimization > > Ideas? hmm.. actually i don't like --enable-symbols much because "symbols" could refer to linker symbols when what is really meant is "symbolic debugging information". but then again --enable-symbols has been used for many years in this project so people are already used to it :) how about --enable-release-debuginfo ? --enable-product-debuginfo ? _______________________________________________ LibreOffice mailing list LibreOffice@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice
