I am working on Qt application for MacOS. There, in order to debug I would like to build with debug symbols. For that, following Qt dos I have added
QMAKE_CFLAGS_RELEASE = $$QMAKE_CFLAGS_RELEASE_WITH_DEBUGINFO
QMAKE_CXXFLAGS_RELEASE = $$QMAKE_CXXFLAGS_RELEASE_WITH_DEBUGINFO
QMAKE_OBJECTIVE_CFLAGS_RELEASE = $$QMAKE_OBJECTIVE_CFLAGS_RELEASE_WITH_DEBUGINFO
QMAKE_LFLAGS_RELEASE = $$QMAKE_LFLAGS_RELEASE_WITH_DEBUGINFO
I have checked and it works, symbols are there.
I would like to know if there is a way to remove those symbols AFTER BUILD. I have tried strip command on the executable but apparently it does nothing. This command:
otool -Iv build/MyApp.app/Contents/MacOS/MyApp
has same output after running strip. Could someone tell me how to effectively remove debug symbols? Also, the way I am using to check that symbols are gone, is it the right one ? If not how could I verify that?
Thanks in advance

If you runnmon your binary, the symbols are listed with their symbol type. Globally visible names (marked withT) will not be stripped.
