Should Linux C++ builds have debug symbols by default in R3.14.12.3?

[<tom.cobb@diamond.ac.uk>]

Hi all,

We're starting to move IOCs from R3.14.11 to R3.14.12.3 and I've noticed that C++ builds with host arch linux-x86_64 no longer have debugging symbols by default, but C builds do. In R3.14.11 we used to have debugging symbols on C and C++ builds even when NOT using the linux-x86_64-debug architecture.

The change seems to be that in R3.14.11/base/configure/os/CONFIG_SITE.Common.linux-x86_64 we have:

OP_SYS_CFLAGS += -g

But in R3.14.12.3/base/configure/os/CONFIG_SITE.Common.linux-x86_64 we have:

OPT_CFLAGS_YES += -g

My guess is that the change was probably made for a good reason, so we should add the following line to configure/os/CONFIG_SITE.Common.linux-x86_64:
 
OPT_CXXFLAGS_YES += -g

Is that the correct way to fix this?

Thanks,
Tom Cobb
