compiling DLDs with "-g" ?

[Eric Chassande-Mottin-5]

I'd like to debug DLDs. In the wiki, it is written
that DLDs can be compiled with "-g". But it is not
explained how to give the flag to mkoctfile.

mkoctfile -g file.cc   does not work.
mkoctfile: unrecognized argument -g

any hint please?

eric.

Using gdb to debug your extensions

gdb can be used to debug DEFUN_DLD functions. There are N preliminary
steps one should during the compilations phase.

     * compile all of the code with -g or -ggdb

This works for me:
CXXFLAGS="-ggdb" mkoctfile file.cc
or even
XTRA_CXXFLAGS="-ggdb" mkoctfile file.cc

Hi Eric

It's a bit of a kludge, but you can do

mkoctfile -v

to see the command that mkoctfile executes, and then just add -g.

thanks stefan

is there any reason why there is no easy way to
give a flag to mkoctfile?

Looks like Andrey has an elegant solution, but the -g flag should
probably be recognised by mkoctfile.  If you write a patch, John will
consider it.

The attached patch does the job, but I am not sure if ALL_CXXFLAGS and
ALL_CFLAGS are the best places to add "-ggdb".

And ggdb is probably only valid if you are using GCC.  So I can't take
this patch as it is.

How about "-g"?
