[Mono-devel-list] Debugger support in mcs

[Nick Drochak]

Hi.

It seems that debugger support is not in mcs by default. I had put
'/debug+ /debug:full' in the makefile.gnu for corlib, but at least one
person got the error that it couldn't find the symbol writer.

Would it be possible for mcs to give a warning instead of throwing an
exception and stopping with a stack trace if the symbol writer is not
available?

This way we can have the debug switches in the makefiles, and it won't
break anyone's build.

Or are there other issues of which I am not aware?
