The debug info is is actually bolted inside the main binary, which is the opposite of separate. :-) Maybe: "Debug File Embedded in Special Section" "Separate Debug File Embedded in Special Section" Are we going to call this "MiniDebugInfo" going forward (as the minidebug.c file spells it)? Would it be a good idea to put a "a.k.a. MiniDebugInfo" in the docs? > * Index Files:: Index files speed up GDB > * Symbol Errors:: Errors reading symbol files > * Data Files:: GDB data files On 11/13/2012 06:35 PM, Tom Tromey wrote: > +if {[is_remote host]} { > + return 0 > +} This is no longer necessary.
