You get the idea - it is used pervasively.
The problem is, when WITH_DEBUG is YES, /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk will
strip out all flags from CFLAGS of the type -O* and -f*. I don't think
this is a good idea. First, the debugger can handle optimized code
pretty well and I can't build ports with debug introduced yet have ports
run optimized. Second, -f* is a little over-aggressive when the one
flag that really must be removed is -fomit-frame-pointer.
Would it be possible to have this reviewed and, hopefully, changed to
allow -O and -f switches and just eliminate -fomit-frame-pointer?
I am not happy with the current WITH_DEBUG either. The strip out all flags
from CFLAGS destroy everything. I think we should not strip and leave it
alone by just add '-g'. We can always just tell to the users to rebuild if
they add something wrong in CFLAGS.
