This doesn't make execution slower for GCC compiles according to
Postgres docs:
--enable-debug
Compiles all programs and libraries with debugging symbols. This
means that you can run the programs in a debugger to analyze
problems. This enlarges the size of the installed executables
considerably, and on non-GCC compilers it usually also disables
compiler optimization, causing slowdowns. However, having the
symbols available is extremely helpful for dealing with any
problems that might arise. Currently, this option is recommended
for production installations only if you use GCC. But you should
always have it on if you are doing development work or running a
beta version.
The `-ggdb` and `-g3` flags simply tell which type of debug symbols we
want.

In the README, It would be good to mention that by default debug symbols will be enabled. I am thinking of testing this PR with #180, the change itself makes sense. |
