           Summary: [GTK] Add more debug options to compilation
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: WebKit Gtk
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: cgarcia at igalia.com


Currently --enable-debug option (used by debug builds) include the following:
 - Add -g flag to compile with debug symbols
 - Disable compiler optimizations
 - Disable fast malloc
 - Compile with deprecated flags
 - Other debug features: assertions enabled, some debug code, etc.

Compiler optimizations and fast malloc can be enabled/disabled when debug is not enabled, but all other options depends directly on --enable-debug. 

The other day I wanted to debug and assertion, but I didn't want to build with debug symbols, because it's very slow, so I manually disabled debug symbols and I realized it's really useful to build with debug features enabled but without debug symbols. Martin suggested that building with debug symbols, but without debug features like assertions, would be useful too. So I think we could add options to enabled/disable debug symbols and all other debug features.
