[Ffmpeg-devel] [PATCH] fomit-frame-pointer disable when optimizations disabled

[Nigel Pearson]

	Graham, I think your message was a reply to a different message
(Enforcing "Image Size Must Be Even" rules), so it may be missed by
the developers. You may have to resend in a week or so if you don't
get any other responses to it.

1) Agree that it should only be in there if optimising
(which hopefully means not debugging).

2) Patch is in a Darwin-only GCC section - very safe.

3) Applies and works on todays SVN (r5816)



Developers, for what little my vote counts, Seconded.
