What is the "debug" column in the MAP file?

[Chris Rice]

I know this is a dumb question, but I've googled it and can't get an explanation. What is the "debug" column in the MAP file?

Also, it's alarmingly big... using Keil is there a setting I should use to compile without whatever is taking up that space? I don't see the typical debug/release config settings.

Thanks for the help.

It's stuff allowing the debugger e.g. to relate memory positions to variables, program counter to lines in the source etc.

Don't be alarmed, it's doesn't occupy a single bit on the mcu, it's all on the PC in the .elf file.

There is a "Debug Information" check box in the Output options pane.
