creating execuable file in Linux by linking some static libraries (to link ibxyz.a, using -lxyz option). if I strip all symbols in static library (strip -s libxyz.a), then if try to link again, then I gets lot of "undefined reference", can't I do strip on static library using below command?
strip -s xyz.a

Erm if you strip all symbols using -s then there will be no symbols left in the library including all the functions you are expecting the linker to find.
Looklike I ma using wrong one, I have to use -g option to remove debugging symbols.
why -S option available, it is not useful at all?

It is eminently useful if you want to force a rebuild of your library from scratch.

Typically, strip is used on a final product like an executable or program. This removes all symbolic information from prying eyes. It makes no sense to do this to a library (unless you really want to rebuild it, like Banfa suggested).
-S might be the option you might want to use. It only removes debugging info.
Thanks. Let me commant that "strip" command right now, let me enable only for final release, right now I just tried whether it is working or not, since my exeuatble file is almost 1.8 meg size, when I do strip on all static libraries, I got down file size to 800K, but currently let me disable strip command.
but I have other thread, I have some issue with shared libs, I changed all to static libs, I created linux execuatble using -static option, somebody suggested not to use -static option at all, if I takeout that -static option, I can see segmentation fault.

I got some question about symbols in libraries ...
In libraries, there is public symbols and "not public" symbols
(private, static)... In C when we use the "static" keyword on the
declaration of a function, the function is not public in the library.

the library. How can I change that. The keyword "private" in a class
is only for the langage or does it change (like...

Hello all!
I have been working on a project for some time now and yesterday, my
debugger stopped working.
It is a class library which I run from a Win32 test app, so no IIS involved
at this point.
I can still set breakpoints and when debugging the breakpoints get hit -
just like it would work normally.

debugging symbols? The source is written in ANSI C.
This is what I have now:
"CC = gcc"
The client binary is 433680 and the core file produced when it crashed

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
