NextGen TotalView for HPCCommand-Line Options and CLI State Variables
The following command line options and CLI variables control how TotalView handles .gnu_debuglink files.
–gnu_debuglink and –no_gnu_debuglink, TV::gnu_debuglink
Controls Total View processing of the .gnu_debuglink section in executables and shared libraries. The default value is true. Setting the variable to false or using the no_ command-line option prefix saves time when you do not want to process the debug-only files or when you need to avoid other problems associated with the debug-only files.
[–no_]gnu_debuglink_checksum and TV::gnu_debuglink_checksum_flag
Tells TotalView if it should validate the checksum of the debug-only files against the checksum stored in the .gnu_debuglink section of the executable or shared library. The default is true. Setting the variable to false or using the no_ command-line option prefix can save time associated with computing the checksum of large files. Do this only if you are absolutely certain that the debug file matches.
–gnu_debuglink_global_directory and TV::gnu_debuglink_global_directory
Specifies the global debug directory. The default value is /usr/lib/debug.
