Summary0015901: `-Og` does not produce debug symbol in CMake
DescriptionUse `-Og` in CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS, the compiled result does not contain any `.debug_*` section.
Steps To ReproduceCMakeList.txt:

    set(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS "-std=c++11 -Wall -Wextra -Og")
    add_executable(Demo tmp.cc)

tmp.cc:

    #include <iostream>

    int main(void) {
      std::cout << "Hello, world" << std::endl;
      return 0;
    }

Put CMakeList.txt and tmp.cc in the same directory, then execute `cmake .; make; objdump -h Demo | grep .debug`, no result.

For comparison, I compile the tmp.cc by myself: `g++ -std=c++11 -Wall -Wextra -Og tmp.cc; objdump -h a.out | grep .debug`. It returns:

 could you please post the output of "make clean && make VERBOSE=1" ?

 CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS is added before the CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS_<CONFIG> and the Debug configuration adds -O0, so my guess is that -O0 is overriding -Og. Try setting CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS_DEBUG to include -Og (or replace -O0 with -Og if the compiler supports it).

GCC manual states the following:
https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-5.3.0/gcc/Optimize-Options.html#Optimize-Options [^]

Optimize debugging experience. -Og enables optimizations that do not interfere with debugging. It should 
be the optimization level of choice for the standard edit-compile-debug cycle, offering a reasonable 
level of optimization while maintaining fast compilation and a good debugging experience.


So IMHO -Og does not imply -g, it just tells GCC to create code which could be debugged well.

 What are your GCC_COLLECT flags if you run 

g++ -std=c++11 -Wall -Wextra -Og -v  tmp.cc ; objdump -h a.out |grep .debug

 There's no -g in your compilation line. Set CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE to "Debug" (it's ctest and cpack that use Debug if empty; CMake itself just does nothing special and adds no flags). -Og means to optimize for debugging, but doesn't mean that debugging is enabled. I don't think CMake do so either.

 Because I wrote a wrong build type “CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS_RELWITHDBGINFO" from the start, so the cmake still cached wrong build type after I fix this typo larer. So I run `ccmake .` and enter the correct build type and re-configure, and it works finally.

So no bug, but I think this cache mechanism is deceptive.

 To avoid situations like this you could use a build directory separate from the source tree.
