With debug info, you can of course debug but also profile (valgrind --tool=calgrind), find leaks (valgrind), cover (kcov), etc. Oh yeah, this. Needs to happen, yes. I'm not much of a debugger guy myself having never used a debugger in my entire life so that side would be just for others but the other benefits attract me too. Thanks for bringing them up.
