A long time ago, I proposed a -gmlt option to generate "minimal line tables" (basically -g1 + line tables):
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2011-04/msg02075.html The consensus from that thread was that instead of a new option, we should just modify -g1 to produce line tables (the documented purpose of -g1 is to enable stack traces, and stack traces are much more useful with line numbers). I also proposed, and got no objection, that -g by itself should set the debugging level to 2 (i.e., -g1 -g should behave the same as -g1 -g2). Here, finally, is that patch again, reworked to generate line tables at -g1. I plan to commit this when Stage 1 reopens, but I'd like to verify that earlier consensus. I also plan to commit this to the google/main branch, and future merges will go more smoothly if what I put in google/main matches what eventually goes into trunk. -cary 2013-02-06 Cary Coutant <ccout...@google.com> gcc/ * dwarf2out.c (want_pubnames): Don't do pubnames for -g1.
