Package: gcc-4.8 Version: 4.8.2-11 Severity: normal Tags: upstream Hello,
Currently, the gcc debian package has a bug that comes from upstream: http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=57653 The effect of the bug is if one compiles a file with the option -imacros, the filename and all useful debugging information disappears. Here is a simple example of that: imacros-test$ cat somefile.c #warning some warning imacros-test$ cat macros.h #define SOME_MACRO imacros-test$ gcc -c somefile.c somefile.c:1:2: warning: #warning some warning [-Wcpp] #warning some warning ^ imacros-test$ gcc -c somefile.c -imacros macros.h <command-line>:1:2: warning: #warning some warning [-Wcpp] This also affects the debugging information embedded within the files, rendering debugging pretty useless. While I am aware this is a bug from upstream, it's been sitting there for a while with a simple patch. It'd be nice to apply that patch on the debian package in the meantime.
