Document how to build from source with full debuginfo
The debug build includes only partial debuginfo to save space but this makes gdb info args and info locals error with No symbol table info available.
There is probably a better way of doing this using $GN_ARGS but I am not familiar with GN and was not able to make it work so took the following approach.
- Clone rusty_v8 and comment out three lines in
.gn.
# Minimize size of debuginfo in distributed static library.
#line_tables_only = true
#no_inline_line_tables = true
#symbol_level = 1
use_debug_fission = false. # Always want this one

Build
librusty_v8.awithV8_FROM_SOURCE=1 cargo build -vv. -
Build own project with
RUSTY_V8_ARCHIVE=/path/to/rusty_v8/target/debug/gn_out/obj/librusty_v8.a V8_FORCE_DEBUG=1 cargo build
The static lib with full debuginfo is 3.6GB so it wouldn't make sense to change the default here, but it would be great if it could be made a one liner.
