-gtLEVEL is used to request CTF debug information and also to specify how much
CTF debug information.

[Changes from V1]
  None

gcc/ChangeLog:
 
	* common.opt: Add CTF debug info options.
	* doc/invoke.texi: Document the CTF debug info options.
	* flag-types.h (enum ctf_debug_info_levels): New enum.
	* opts.c (common_handle_option): New Function.
	(set_ctf_debug_level): Handle the new CTF debug info options.

The option name is way too generic IMO.
-gctfLEVEL or some such would at least  indicate its intended purpose, fwiw.

thanks

I thought about this too. The prime reason for -gtLEVEL is consistency with the
DWARF debug info command line options.

For DWARF, we have -gdwarf-VERSION and -gLEVEL. Although GCC, at this time, will
generate only the most recent CTF version (CTF_VERSION_3 in <ctf.h>); I don't
know for sure if the compiler will need to support the CTF_VERSION_3 and higher
simultaneously in the future. If we do, then -gctf-VERSION and -gtLEVEL will be
the most palatable choice for generating Type debug information (Type, hence
the "t" in gt) of various versions.

Thanks
Indu
