Bug ID: 107513
Summary: [Feature Request] Implement
__attribute__((__nodebug__))
Product: gcc
Version: unknown
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: c++
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: roi.jacobson1 at gmail dot com
Target Milestone: ---
Clang has __attribute__((__nodebug__)). When applied for types and functions it
suppresses generation of debug information for those types or functions. This
can greatly reduce binary sizes when compiling with debug symbols.
As a very non representative measure: in a library I'm currently working on, by
applying this attribute to some uninteresting 'forwarding' functions I see a
40% reduction in size (uncompressed and unrepresentative, but still).
It is worth noting that this attribute is already used in libc++ and in some
other libraries (for example Apple SIMD).
