8.4 Compiling For Debugging
===========================
If you wish to compile for debugging, you should use GCC. After running
'configure' but before running 'make', edit the 'Makefile' and remove
the '-O2' flag from the definition of 'CFLAGS'. Optionally, do the same
for 'extensions/Makefile'. Then run 'make'.
You can enable additional debugging code by creating a file named
'.developing' in the 'gawk' source code directory _before_ running
'configure'. Doing so enables additional conditionally-compiled
debugging code within 'gawk', and adds additional warning and debugging
options if compiling with GCC.
