Preparing for Debugging

Use the -g option to direct the compiler to generate code to support symbolic debugging. For example:

• IA-32 Systems: prompt>icc -g prog.c
• Itanium®-based Systems: prompt>ecc -g prog.c

The compiler does not support the generation of debugging information in assemblable files. If you specify the -g option, the resulting object file will contain debugging information, but the assemblable file will not.
