<div>
<pre>On <a href="https://clang.llvm.org/docs/UsersManual.html#id9">https://clang.llvm.org/docs/UsersManual.html#id9</a> it mentions the following
command line options:
-gline-directives-only Emit debug line info directives only
-gline-tables-only Emit debug line number tables only
These options might be obvious if you have a thorough understanding of how
debug info is being stored. Though, I don't.
A quick google search for this doesn't give any helpful hints either:
<a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=debug+line+info+directives">https://www.google.com/search?q=debug+line+info+directives</a>
My understanding from -gline-tables-only: Emit debug info that allows the
debugger to show the source code line linked to the stack frame. No information
about variables is available.
However, for the -gline-directives-only I don't understand what it does and
what the difference is with the other option.
Can this be clarified?</pre>
