Issue #6360 has been updated by pcai (Peter Cai). This still seems to set -ggdb3 CFLAGS by default in master. Is this still considered a bug and if so, how should it be re-enabled? ---------------------------------------- Bug #6360: Debug information build even without requesting it https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/6360#change-105297 * Author: luislavena (Luis Lavena) * Status: Assigned * Priority: Normal * Assignee: nobu (Nobuyoshi Nakada) * ruby -v: 2.0.0 i386-mingw32 r35473 ---------------------------------------- Hello, While working on latest RubyInstaller release for 1.9.3-p194 our team detected a bigger shared library and import library being generated. After further inspection, we found this commit: https://github.com/ruby/ruby/commit/ffdaca1d748804f2b5ca2de612f17cf6c78d351b Backported r34840 into ruby_1_9_3 branch The above change added -ggdb to CFLAGS even when was not provided by debugflags configure option. The following is the comparison of "make" summary with and without the change: Current trunk: <pre> C:\Users\Luis\Projects\oss\ruby\build32>make CC = gcc LD = ld LDSHARED = gcc -shared CFLAGS = -O3 -fno-omit-frame-pointer -ggdb -Wall -Wextra -Wno-unused-parameter -Wno-parentheses -Wno-long-long -Wno-missing-field-initializers -Wunused-variable -Werror=pointer-arith -Werror=write-strings -Werror=declaration-after-statement -Werror=implicit-function-declaration XCFLAGS = -include ruby/config.h -include ruby/missing.h -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fno-strict-overflow -fvisibility=hidden -DRUBY_EXPORT CPPFLAGS = -DFD_SETSIZE=32767 -D_WIN32_WINNT=0x0501 -I. -I.ext/include/i386-mingw32 -I../include -I..

I think debug symbols shouldn't be compiled unless requested and this is a regression. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/
