- Subject: how to turn off PIE on Fedora?
Can any Red Hat engineers shed light on this:
Data seems to move around unpredictably under Fedora Core.
I.e. I run cc1 under gdb to a breakpoint or error, and note
the memory address of some variable. I then re-run cc1 with
no changes, and the variable has jumped to a different address.
This complicates debugging, and specifically setting conditional
breakpoints.
This presumably is because of PIE "position independent
executables", which is supoosed to increase security. Fine -
but how can I turn it off for development builds?
PIE also breaks PCH, and hence running the gcc testsuite.
