[Bug 31501] New: Wine binaries have become substantially bigger in Wine 1.5.11

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=31501

Bug #: 31501
           Summary: Wine binaries have become substantially bigger in Wine
                    1.5.11
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.5.11
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]
    Classification: Unclassified

To give you an idea:

Wine 1.5.10:

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1177178 Aug  1 01:43 actxprxy.dll.so

Wine 1.5.11:

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2742982 Aug 19 12:43 actxprxy.dll.so (133% increase in
size)

I use the same compiler (GCC 4.5.4) and compilation flags (-m32 -march=native
-O2)

Wine 1.5.10 lib directory weighs ~100MB
Wine 1.5.11 lib directory weighs ~196MB

that's two times increase!

That's what causes the increase:

configure.ac

+  WINE_TRY_CFLAGS([-gdwarf-2])
+  WINE_TRY_CFLAGS([-gstrict-dwarf])

I wonder if users by default should have their binaries built with debugging
enabled - most of them won't debug Wine and even without -gdwarf-2 GCC compiles
in enough information to produce usable debugging information.

Typical users aren't compiling Wine themselves. Most packagers have debugging
symbols in a separate package.

-O2 -g has been the default for a while, AFAICT, so debugging symbols are
already the default, for self-compiled Wine.

Yes, but this does make it a bit harder to override that default.

A lot of people around me do compile Wine because distros are usually days,
sometimes _weeks_ behind official wine releases.

Please, make it an option - I guess it's just a question of adding two or three
lines of code into the configure script, something like

--disable-dwarf2-debug

in reply to #6, you should also test that -g is an option in CFLAGS before
forcing -gdwarf2 or -gstrict-dwarf

-g is enforced by autoconf, AFAICT.

-gdwarf-2 / -gstrict-dwarf are only forced if the compiler supports it, using
the WINE_TRY_CFLAGS macro. I think it's highly unlikely that there is a
compiler that supports -gdwarf-2 or -gstrict-dwarf but not -g.

We just use RESOLVED - FIXED. It will be automatically CLOSED - FIXED when
1.5.12 is released.
