Hi all,
first of all, Visual Micro is a great tool. Using Visual Studio for developing and debugging my projects (Arduino on Teensy 4.1) is a charm!
But I found an issue where I am not able to find a workaround, hopefully you can help me:
Attached you find two files

• debug-hardware-gdbstub: I selected the gdb stub with "No Project + Library Optimization" in the Debug toolbar.
• debug-off: I selected the off-option with same optimization level.

I want to use the gdb stub variant but my issue is that this option automagically adds options to the build.vm.extra_flags for all three types core, library and project:
These are my options I have defined by myself and are used with Debug:off

build.vm.extra_flags.core=-Os
build.vm.extra_flags.library=-Os
 

These are the options when I select the gdbstub:

build.vm.extra_flags.core=-Os  -Og
build.vm.extra_flags.library=-Os  -Og
build.vm.extra_flags.project= -Og
 

As you can see, the -Og override my -Os which I need to put everything onto the teensy (see teensy-size output). 

I have not found a setting to eliminate the "-Og" at the end. I do not want to debug the core and library so I would be happy to have an option to switch the "-Og" off also for gdbstub.
Can you help me here?

I am using Visual Studio 2022 Community, Arduino IDE 1.8.19 and Teensyduino 1.56. So https://www.visualmicro.com/forums/YaBB.pl?num=1640379082 does not help in my case.

Best Regards
Daniel

Thanks for the quick answer. A configurable option here would be highly appreciated as the teensy even has its own settings (which I can modify easily).

This has been made available in the latest release 21.11.08-14, available from the top of the below board:
https://www.visualmicro.com/forums/YaBB.pl?board=VS_ARDUINO_EXT_RELEASES

This allows you to override (or remove) the -Og flag which is added during the Hardware Debug compilation.

This can be done by adding a local board.txt (vMicro > Add Code > Add Local board.txt), and adding the below property:

# Alter or remove Optimization for Hardware Debugging
# Can be used in Conjunction with Project Properties > Configuration Defines

# Default is -Og
# ide.compiler_flags_debug=-Og

# Remove added flags by setting to blank:
ide.compiler_flags_debug=
