The default is still COFF debugging, without stabs. You can get stabs with -gstabs and (with GCC 3.0) DWARF2 with -gdwarf-2. > I didn't think dwarf2 was even used yet. It isn't used, since no released port of GDB supports it. But if you build a recent snapshot, you will have it supported in GDB. I expect DWARF2 to become quite popular once GCC 3.0 and GDB 5.1 are released, since DWARF2 is so much better, especially for debugging C++. That's why I think we should try to fix the problem with register naming. > I would recommend using the same mapping as linux uses, which should > be the "popular" one for ix86. I believe that's what Mark was saying as well. I agree, which makes three of us ;-)
