Yes, of course, and for sure -g cannot affect optimized code, see my follow on message.

Sometimes I wonder whether the insistence on -g not changing code
generation is warranted. In practice, gdb for me is so weak in handling
-O1 or -O2, that if I want to debug something I have to recompile
with -O0 -g, which causes quite a bit of code generation change :-)
