I wonder if there is a way, to include dwarf and stabs in the ppu. Or maybe I got something else wrong.

If I compile a package, the lcl, the rtl, whatever, I can do so with -g getting stabs, then any app I compile with -gw will not see the debug info for those package
-gw geting dwarf, and any app compiled with -g will not see it

So I assume that the debug info stored in the ppu or .o files is specific to either dwarf or stabs.

Hence, I wonder, if both could be included in ppu or .o files. So I can choose freely when compiling my apps. (I understand the final exe can only have one (probably))

Best Regards
Martin

That is normal.

It's in the .o files.

This is at least not supported by the Mac OS X linker: if it detects DWARF debug information in an object file, it will ignore any Stabs debug info. So I do not think that what you want is possible. gcc also can only include one kind of debug information in object files.
