-qlinedebug

Category

Error checking and debugging

Purpose

Generates only line number and source file name information for a debugger.

When -qlinedebug is in effect, the compiler produces minimal debugging information, so the resulting object size is smaller than that produced by the -g debugging option. You can use the debugger to step through the source code, but you will not be able to see or query variable information. The traceback table, if generated, will include line numbers.

-qlinedebug is equivalent to -g1.

Defaults

-qnolinedebug

Usage

When -qlinedebug is in effect, function inlining is disabled.

As with all debugging information, the output of -qlinedebug might be incomplete or misleading if the code is optimized.

The -g option overrides the -qlinedebug option. If you specify -g with -qnolinedebug on the command line, -qnolinedebug is ignored and a warning is issued.
