Synopsis: gcc(1) g++(1) Compiling, assembling and linking code with debugging results in unusable debug information State-Changed-From-To: open->closed State-Changed-By: gerald State-Changed-When: Sun Mar 10 18:28:48 UTC 2013 State-Changed-Why: Over the course of the last couple of upstream releases, GCC has significantly improved debug info generation and specifically the ability to fully and properly track variables. The FreeBSD project decided not to update the system version of GCC to a newer version than GCC 4.2.1 due to concerns about the GPLv3, but in the FreeBSD Ports Collection you will find all current version of GCC. Specifically, lang/gcc (GCC 4.6) or lang/gcc47 should meet your needs. http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=126721
