How to debug code that uses the STL library?

How to debug code that uses the STL library?

[Anand Raman]

Hi

Is there a egcs compiler option that says don't compile debug info
into files included from this one?

Although the SGI STL library being made available all in header files
is said to have advantages, I have more problems than savings because
of it at the moment.  I am trying to debug code that uses the STL and
the debugger keeps entering the STL code which (I am sure :-) is
pretty much bug-free :-)

Many thanks for an email response directly to my email address. I
am presently unsubscribed from the mailing list.

Thanks.

Compile your code with "-fno_implicit_templates -g".

In another file, do explicit template instantiations for the 
templates that you require (if you don't know how to do that,
get a c++ book), and compile it _without_ the two flags shown
above.  Link all files together and you're done.
