Hi...

    Hope this is the right place to ask GCC/G++ questions...

    I'm curious if there is any possible way to get symbolic debugging
info (-g) with C++ programs. On an SVR4 system, I get a message like
"-g not available on SVR4 systems" yet symbolic debugging info is
available for regular C programs.

    I'm curious how C++ is different, and if there is some combination
of defines I can use when building GCC/G++ (such as using some format
other than DWARF_DEBUGGING) that will allow me to use gdb in symbolic
mode with G++ programs built on an NCR 80486 system running SysVr4.

    For example, I'm curious how Solaris 2.x machines get symbolic
debug info for G++ even though they should also be ELF like most other
SVR4 platforms...

    Any help/pointers/comments welcome. Thanks in advance...

...Marc...
