| |
Hello,
Sorry if this is NOT related to kernel per se. but...
Compiling a kernel module with and without "-g" gcc flag, (rest of the compiler flags remaining exactly the same/usual) changes the offsets/addresses of some (not all) symbols [saw using nm(1)].
Is this normal? I thought "-g" just adds debug info into the object file. and it should not change the offsets/addresses that symbols get assigned during compilation.
btw I am using gcc 2.96 (from RH).
Thanks A. [Pleas Cc: me the reply]
