info says that using -fomit-frame-pointer prevents debugging on i386 machines
(never tried it meself), but I find Mark's question an interesting one.
I try to make my programs as Win-friendly as possible, and they crash
fairly often ( sound routines especially playing mods are the worst
culprits), but the switch has little to do with it. I now use it all
the time, as the extra register makes ALL the difference. Still -- where there's
smoke, there's fire . Only, where's the fire? Any of you guys seen fire?
Any ideas, Eli?
