But I wonder how we manage to play this ping-pong game. I see darwin.c setting the uninit: if (flag_var_tracking && (generating_for_darwin_version >= 9) && debug_info_level >= DINFO_LEVEL_NORMAL && debug_hooks->var_location != do_nothing_debug_hooks.var_location) flag_var_tracking_uninit = 1; and toplev.c clearing it: /* We know which debug output will be used so we can set flag_var_tracking and flag_var_tracking_uninit if the user has not specified them. */ if (debug_info_level < DINFO_LEVEL_NORMAL || debug_hooks->var_location == do_nothing_debug_hooks.var_location) { if (flag_var_tracking == 1 || flag_var_tracking_uninit == 1) { if (debug_info_level < DINFO_LEVEL_NORMAL) warning (0, "variable tracking requested, but useless unless " "producing debug info"); else warning (0, "variable tracking requested, but not supported " "by this debug format"); } flag_var_tracking = 0; flag_var_tracking_uninit = 0; } First time we go process_options->darwin_override_options and we end up with flag disabled (can't verify as I am not big friend with Jack's gdb) next time we go #0 0x00000001009edb40 in darwin_override_options () #1 0x000000010099b120 in ix86_option_override_internal () #2 0x000000010099f15b in ix86_valid_target_attribute_tree () #3 0x000000010099f25b in ix86_valid_target_attribute_p () #4 0x000000010007ac04 in handle_target_attribute () #5 0x00000001000024ca in decl_attributes () this time we bypass process_options. I don't see how those two conditionals can both match. I also wonder why is darwin enabling the flag? It seems to be off at all configurations except for darwin even if looks like generic var tracking feature. -fvar-tracking-uninit is also undocumented.
