The arm-none-eabi-gdb.exe binary in version 12.3.rel1 is a debug build.

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,

    I am sorry that GDB is still taking a long time to read debug symbols. In the latest release we have ensured that GDB is not a debug build, and the binary size of arm-none-eabi-gdb.exe has reduced to 11MB.

    We will investigate why reading symbols could take a long time. Are you able to provide a reference ELF file, or provide the steps to generate the ELF file you have?

    Kind Regards,
