There is one very annoying message coming from as.exe when compiling complex C++ with GCC 9 (IIRC it happened with GCC 4 too), e.g.:
D:\Temp/ccyvaAtU.s:489773: Warning: .stabd: description field '1336a' too big, try a different debug format
This message is printed by this part of code:
|
as_warn (_(".stab%c: description field '%x' too big, try a different debug format"), |
From what I see, it happens when there is too many line numbers in the source file and there is no workaround for AOUT debug info. I'm going to just disable it because it's highly annoying — there might be 1000s of messages like that from a single file (which scrolls the console and blows log files like crazy).
It's just another evidence that we should switch to ELF (and DWARF) ASAP (see bitwiseworks/gcc-os2#12).
