Feature request?: Recompile referenced objects w/debug

[Tim Scott]

I notice there is an option to recompile 'referencing' objects. Although I've never used that, I can see it's advantage in ensuring that everything that depends on the item in hand is still valid.

I often, however, find myself wanting to recompile the referenced objects called by the one I am trying to debug. There doesn't seem to be an easy way to add the debug information to them without examining the dependencies manually.

I'd be concerned if they didn't compile, but not if they belong in another schema and I don't have the privilege to compile them : it should still carry on and add debug information to the rest.

Is there a simple way to achieve this?

Thanks,

Maybe it would help if you check the preference 'Add debug information when compiling'? Don't know it will help though.

Thanks patch. That may help a little, but often I'm debugging a package at or near the "top level" of the process and have not edited the underlying packages at all.

What I'm looking for is a way that I can readily start a debug session without finding that a whole section of code gets skipped over because the debug information isn't present - and then have to reset or recreate test data for the peculiar scenario where the problem was reported.
