Hello,

I am still struggling with the Segmentation Fault that gdb produces when loading my app's symbols on Mac OS X.

I inserted $D- at the top of a few hundred units, but the app still has the exact same file size. Is the $D- compiler directive ignored? Shouldn't the symbols shrink?

Cheers,
Tobias

No.

The Mac OS X linker does not copy the DWARF debug information from the original object files into the final binary (to speed up linking). It only adds references to the object files.
