Even without -g, you still get function names in the backtrace. The only time you don't get this is when you strip the executable. -g adds the function line number. configure --enable-debug will use -g for the compile, and with optimization. We aren't changing that, we are only preventing -g by default. Most installers are stripping the executables anyway --- this might discourage them from doing that. -- Bruce Momjian | http://candle.pha.pa.us [EMAIL PROTECTED] | (610) 359-1001 + If your life is a hard drive, | 13 Roberts Road + Christ can be your backup. | Newtown Square, Pennsylvania 19073 ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 7: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
