[postgis-devel] --enable-debug ?

[Regina Obe]

I tried using it once but it was too much noise for me to deal with so ended up as you do changing file by file.

 

I'm okay with you changing the meaning – though you might want to do something about this complaint as whatever you do might make it moot or require change.

I moved this back to PostGIS 2.4.0

Subject: [postgis-devel] --enable-debug ?

 

Anybody regularly compiling with ./configure --enable-debug?

 

I ask because I see it doesn't do much except crank POSTGIS_DEBUG_LEVEL up to a relatively intolerable value of 4. 

 

I don't personally use POSTGIS_DEBUG_LEVEL at all in my dev work anymore, I just attach gdb and go from there; when I did use it, I generally tweaked in on a file-by-file basis because otherwise the message flood was impossible to handle.

 

I'd like to reclaim --enable-debug and have it do what I would expect it to do, namely add the -g flag to the build, and turn on more expensive memory checks that are guarded behind PARANOIA_LEVEL.

 

Thoughts?
