Hi all,
The arm-none-eabi-gdb binary in the windows 12.3.rel1 release is built with a debug configuration. The binary file is 263MB (contains symbols) whereas previous versions were around 6MB. I'm hoping ARM will see this and fix it for the next release :)
Cheers

Hi,
Apologies for the delay in responding.
The arm-none-eabi-gdb binary in the 12.3.Rel1 release contains debug symbols, which explains the large file size. We will address this in the next release.
With regards to the optimizations, I think that the binaries are built with -O2. If the GDB binary is slow, then this requires further investigation.
I wasn't able to reproduce the issue yet. If possible, are you able to confirm whether the slowness in reading a large ELF file is only in the Windows binary, or is it also slower on the Linux hosted arm-none-eabi-gdb ?
Kind regards,
Vasee
