Compiler Option: -g

Documentation

Add debug information, define __FB_DEBUG__, and enable asserts

Syntax

-g

Description

The -g compiler option inserts debugging symbols into output files, to use with GDB-compatible debuggers.

The intrinsic macro __FB_DEBUG__ is set to non-zero (-1) if the option was specified, and set to zero (0) otherwise.

Assert and AssertWarn macros are enabled.

Use of -g automatically implies -edebug, -edebuginfo, and -eassert, command line options.

__FB_ERR__ can be used to determine in user source code if the -g option was specified or implied on the command line.
