#15955: Cannot get debugging symbols for compiled c-sources -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: nh2 | Owner: (none) Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 8.8.1 Component: Compiler | Version: 8.2.2 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: | Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by nh2): Thanks to bgamari and slyfox on IRC, I found that all that matters is that the symbols are in the generated `.s` assembly file. When that is the case, it isn't necessary to pass `-g` to `as`. And it turned out the issue is somewhere completely different. https://github.com/haskell/cabal/commit/81017f44 Looks like Cabal strips the executable at install time; if I had run the executable in `dist/`, it wouldn't have, and indeed that one has my symbols. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/15955#comment:3 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
