adding split debug info to the release?

[nolange]

i would need to debug / backtrace some windows exception. seems to be originating in libc++.

the release binaries dont contain the debug info. I am not aware what functionality the win debuggers offer (and the different formats - dwarf or pdb) - on linux i would expect a separate file with the debuginfo.

as far as i know:

• pdb is supported with lldb and windbg
• dwarf is supported with gdb and lldb
• debug info in static libraries would need to dwarf !?

i am likely to play around with this a bit, any hints which way to go?

You can add -gcodeview to CFLAGS when building libc++, and then add -Wl,--pdb= when linking.
