            Bug ID: 177665
           Summary: Generate a compile error if release is built without
                    compiler optimizations
           Product: WebKit
           Version: WebKit Local Build
          Hardware: Unspecified
                OS: Unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: WebKit WPE
          Assignee: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
          Reporter: clopez at igalia.com

It seems that with embedded build systems like Yocto or Buildroot is relatively easier to shoot on your foot and compile without optimizations.

That happened just to me playing with the value of CXXFLAGS on a Yocto recipe.

I believe that nobody wants to build release without compiler optimizations.

So we can generate an error at build time that will alert the developer.

I believe that a build time error is much better than an unexpected "oh, WebKit is really slow ..."  situation.
