Dear all,

Is there is any disadvantage of using -g with ocamlopt?

A number of libraries are not compiled with -g and this prevents us from
getting a complete stack backtrace when they raise an exception. Are
there technical reasons for that, other than "this is an old library and
we haven't touched the Makefile since ocamlopt offers -g"?

Martin

In some cases ocamlopt -g disabled some optimizations.  This now seems to be fixed in 3.13, see http://caml.inria.fr/mantis/view.php?id=5426 .

Cheers,  Josh
