Re: Debugging symbols with GDB

On Cygwin
 
  $ gcc -g hello.c -o hello

produces 'hello.exe':

  $ ls -lrt
  -rwxr-xr-x  1 Angelo Administrators    8873 Oct 25 14:27 hello.exe

i.e. the same result of

  $ gcc -g hello.c -o hello.exe

  $ ls -lrt
  -rwxr-xr-x  1 Angelo Administrators    8873 Oct 25 14:33 hello.exe

In any case, building with 

  $ gcc -g hello.c -o hello.exe

does not change the result of GDB:

$ gdb ./hello.exe

I have all cygwin installed and updated (on XP Pro), GCC-3.4.4-2(exp), GDB
being the 'curr' package, gdb-20060706-2.tar.bz2:
