They work for food.</p> <p>Rob, it depends on what you mean. On the logistical side, this is to be done for debugging only, not for the 'GM' of the app. On the technical side, stripping has very different implications for DWARF than for STABS. As I discussed in my earlier post, DWARF symbols are not put in the executable itself. The executable only contains references to the intermediate object files. Thus, stripping merely removes those references, not the debugging symbols, which were never there to be stripped.</p> Eric, yes. They work for food.
