Hi, https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/libtool.git/tree/build-aux/ltmain.in#n3107 # Clean up the generated files. func_show_eval '$RM "$output_objdir/$my_dlsyms" "$nlist" "${nlist}S" "${nlist}T" "${nlist}I"'
"$output_objdir/$my_dlsyms" is a .c file. In Gentoo, when turn on a feature named "installsource", portage (Gentoo's package management system) will use debugedit to find the source files of the executable, then copy and install it for later debug (if any). But this .c file is deleted right after compile, so this .c file can't be installed. My question is: 1. Is it possible to keep this .c file? 2. Can we be 100% sure the code generated is useless for debugging? If yes, we might consider ignoring .c files in directory .libs/. Thanks. -- Z. Liu
