           Summary: Selecting  debug-infomation the compiler generates for
                    the target
           Product: kdevelop
           Version: 3.0.4
          Platform: Gentoo Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdevelop-bugs kdevelop org
        ReportedBy: stefan st-petersen de


Version:           3.0.4 (using KDE KDE 3.2.2)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages
Compiler:          gcc 3.2.3 
OS:                Linux

For the ui.h approach of Qt the ui.h file contains source-code. The default way of KDevelop to let the compiler (gcc) create the debug-infomation for the target is only the option -g. With this option the created debug-information is the COFF format, which does not support this information. For debugging the included source, gcc is able to create and gdb is able to read the stabs/stabs+ format. This option is given to the compiler with -gstabs or -gstabs+. With that option debugging the ui.h file of a widget is possible with no problem. It would be great to have the possibility to select the kind of debug-info the compiler will create in the project-settings with some radio-buttons, and a tooltip, what the advantages/disadvantages of the different debug-formats are.
