[cdt-dev] gcc debug option

[John Cortell <rat042@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

If you create a C++ project using the New Project wizard, the build 
ends up explicitly specifying -g2. On Windows, this produces level 2 
STABS information. This presents a problem on two fronts (maybe more; 
but these are two I'm aware of)

1. EDC doesn't support STABS; a debug launch just runs the program to 
completion
2. catchpoints on C++ exceptions don't work

I think it can be safely said that DWARF-2 is significantly better 
than STABS as far as the quality and scope of information. Should we 
not change the wizard so that -gdwarf-2 is specified instead? Is that 
not a better default?
