And I said the reason is the positive effects, which DO NOT DO THE SAME THING.
Your "does the same thing" is a reference to what they have in common, which is to break debugging.

Perhaps you have your reasons but why would you ever give those flags to a new linux user? As if they don't already have issues with needing to learn basics you throw in something completely over their heads.... |
It's a well-thought out set of safe flags that is unlikely to cause any issues. It certainly hasn't given me any trouble, and there are other people on these forums who use the same set.

It makes perfect sense, as I said: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-2513271.html#2513271

If you don't know what you are doing, then yes a short cflag string is a good idea. But if you're copying cflags from someone who understands how they work, length is irrelevant. |
