Bug ID: 68836
Summary: GCC can't properly emit debug info for function
arguments in a back-trace when using -Og
Product: gcc
Version: 6.0
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: debug
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: marxin at gcc dot gnu.org
Target Milestone: ---
The original problem was reported by perf guys who have been using -Og as their
default
debugging option. However, it's quite common that back-traces of function
arguments are optimized out:
