debug (Linux*)
Enables or disables generation of debugging information.
Syntax
Linux: |
-debug[=keyword] |
Windows: |
None |
Arguments
keyword |
Is the type of debugging information to be generated. Possible values are:
|
For information on the non-default settings for these keywords, see the Description section.
Default
-debug none |
No debugging information is generated. |
Description
This option enables or disables generation of debugging information.
By default, enabling debugging, will disable optimization. To enable both debugging and optimization use the -debug option together with one of the optimization level options (-O3, -O2 or -O3).
Keywords inline-debug-info, variable-locations, and extended can be used in combination with each other. If conflicting keywords are used in combination, the last one specified on the command line has precedence.
Option |
Description |
---|---|
-debug none |
Disables generation of debugging information. |
-debug full or -debug all |
Generates complete debugging information. It is the same as specifying -debug with no keyword. |
-debug minimal |
Generates line number information for debugging. |
-debug emit-column |
Generates column number information for debugging. |
-debug extended |
Sets keyword variable-locations. It also tells the compiler to include column numbers in the line information. Generates complete debugging information. This is a more powerful setting than -debug full or -debug all. |
-debug parallel |
Generates parallel debug code instrumentations needed for the thread data sharing and reentrant call detection. For shared data and reentrancy detection, option -qopenmp must be set. |
On Linux* systems, debuggers read debug information from executable images. As a result, information is written to object files and then added to the executable by the linker.
IDE Equivalent

Alternate Options
For -debug full, -debug all, or -debug |
