I personally think it won't be a big deal, at least not for GNU/Linux systems. I don't know of anybody still using DWARF-1 and as far as I know no distribution has been using STABS for years. STABS is currently still supported in GCC. And in some situations before GCC 4.7 STABS (with some extensions) could have been a space win. But STABS support might be dropped altogether for GCC 4.9. See also the GCC thread at: http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2013-05/msg00146.html Cheers, Mark |
