[PATCH] configure.ac: allow expressing dwarf version in CFLAGS and CROSSCFLAGS - wine-devel

2 Nov 2021

usage:
     configure CFLAGS="-gdwarf-4 -O2"
   will enable dwarf4 compilation for ELF parts
   (and CROSSCFLAGS="-gdwarf-4 -O2" for PE parts)
evolution from current behavior:
- when CFLAGS contains "-gdwarf-X", -gdwarf-X option is not tested with
  WINE_TRY_CFLAGS (the option remains anyway in CFLAGS -so WINE_TRY is
  useless- and is not copied in EXTRACFLAGS) (ditto for CROSSCFLAGS)
- using CROSSCFLAGS=-gdwarf is no longer converted to Wine's default
  format, but is kepts as is, hence will boil down to compiler's
  preferred dwarf version
- CROSSDEBUG=split used to pick up compiler's default format
  (while CROSSDEBUG=split-dwarf picked up wine's default format).
  They both now pick up the format derived from or specified in
  CROSSCLAGS (if any)
what remains undone (and could be improved):
- no test that the final configuration is suitable for Wine (ie
  if WINE_TRY_CFLAGS fails on -gdwarf-2, compilation is done with
  compilers's default format => dwarf5 on Linux)
Changes from previous version:
- fixed handling of "-g -gcodeview" in CROSSCFLAGS
- fixed CROSSDEBUG=split* (mixup between split-dwarf and dwarf-split)
open question:
- I kept the original behavior, when providing as configure args (and
    not providing CROSSCFLAGS in configure args):
    CROSSDEBUG=pdb
  to add -gcodeview to EXTRACROSSCFLAGS
  It could be simplified with no longer supporting CROSSDEBUG from
  command line, but:
  + set CROSSDEBUG=pdb in configure when -gcodeview
    option is present is CROSSCFLAGS
  + set CROSSDEBUG=split in configure when -gsplit-dwarf
    option is present is CROSSCFLAGS
