Re: [PATCH] Temporarily revert Steven's PCH changes for 4.8 (PR pch/54117)

No, it prevents *reading* of PCH files with -gstabs, so whatever you write into the PCH file is uninteresting. The patch can surely be acompanied by a patch to warn that writing a PCH file is useless in that case, as in your patch, though the spot you chose for it is too early. Consider ./xgcc -B ./ -gstabs -o aa.h.gch aa.h -g0

It's a fairly minor point, but I see what you're saying.




Supposedly not do any testing if -g (defaulting to non-dwarf) or -gstabs
etc. are present in the default options (try to pre-compile some short
header first, if that fails with the newly added warning, punt),
drop all torture options using -g in it if such test fails with explicit
-g added from the list of torture options for testing, and perhaps add some
effective target if needed (valid-1.c test?).
I think two tests should be sufficient. First, compile a simple program with -g and verify it generates dwarf2 debug records. Second verify that there aren't any -g<foo> options, unless <foo> is dwarf2.

I'm actually on PTO today/tomorrow, so I won't be able to look further at this until Monday.

If someone wants to run with it, my recommendation would be Steven's warning patch, moved to the location Jakub suggests so that users know stabs+PCH is going away plus a hack to the testsuite suite similar to what I outlined above plus something to either suppress creation of the pch or suppress reading the PCH in the presence of non-dwarf debug output.

Jakub -- presumably the implicit include of stdc-predef.h is what is causing the testing differences we were seeing.
