| [22:45] <vadi2> What does this at the end of compilation accomplish? Test binary integrity? | |
| [22:45] <vadi2> { test -n "" && DESTDIR="" || DESTDIR=.; } && test $(gdb --version | sed -e 's,[^0-9]\+\([0-9]\)\.\([0-9]\).*,\1\2,;q') -gt 72 && gdb --nx --batch --quiet -ex 'set confirm off' -ex "save gdb-index $DESTDIR" -ex quit 'mudlet' && test -f mudlet.gdb-index && objcopy --add-section '.gdb_index=mudlet.gdb-index' --set-section-flags '.gdb_index=readonly' 'mudlet' 'mudlet' && rm -f mudlet.gdb-index || true | |
| [22:45] <vadi2> It seems to be a new thing, I suspect it came via updates. | |
| [23:11] <tsimpson> vadi2: it inserts gdb debugging information in the resulting binary | |
| [23:11] <vadi2> Oh | |
| [23:11] <vadi2> Where can I find out why / how does this change things? | |
| [23:14] <tsimpson> it's why do you need to change it? | |
| [23:14] <tsimpson> oops, I mean it's for debugging... why do you want to change it? | |
| [23:14] <vadi2> I don't want to change it, I want to find out what does it change from previously | |
| [23:15] <vadi2> Since you know -g before seemed enough? | |
| [23:15] <tsimpson> it's just makes debugging with gdb a bit more efficient | |
