5.7.6.4 Frame-base-loclist Option

The -fframe-base-loclist option includes a frame-base location list in debugging information produced by the compiler. The MPLAB X IDE supports frame-base location lists in the DWARF content of ELF files, and this option can be used when debugging with this IDE.

The -fno-frame-base-loclist form of this option prevents these lists from being generated, making the compiler debug information compatible with older IDEs that do not support this feature. This is the default action if no option is specified.
