If multiple flags are present, the last one is used. By default, Clang does not emit type information for types that are defined but not used in a program. To retain the debug info for these unused types, the negation **-fno-eliminate-unused-debug-types** can be used. + This can be particulary useful on Windows, when using NATVIS files that + can reference const symbols that would otherwise be stripped, even in full + debug or standalone debug modes.
