RE: GDB debug of SDK examples in Eclipse

In opposite to desktop or server software, debug informations in an embedded firmware usually do not end up in the final binary. So I think it’s a viable choice to add the -g switch even for release builds.

Since eclipse is using the existing makefile you would need to add the -g flag manually. You would also need to remove the -flto flag, because the LTO removes the debug symbols again.

You could edit the makefile to include two targets, one release and one debug target, and only use the -g flag on the debug target. Then you can switch between these two targets in eclipse. But you will still need to edit the makefiles.
