What is the status of STABS support?
Are there any plans to deprecate STABS support?
If STABS enhancements were made and posted would they be frowned upon? Or would they be reviewed for possible inclusion in a future release?
Switching to DWARF causes our build products directory (which contains *NONE* of the intermediate files) to swell from 1.2 GB to 11.5 GB. Ouch! The DWARF ELF files are 8-12 times the size of the STABS ELF files.
If the DWARF files were, say, a factor of 2 the size of the STABS files, I could probably sell people on switching to DWARF; but, a factor of 8 to 12 is too much.
Cheers Nick
