No, unfortunately not.

I usually use a custom variant for this:

variant cxxdebug : <optimization>off
                   <debug-symbols>on
                   <inlining>off
                   <runtime-debugging>on
                   <define>_GLIBCXX_DEBUG ;

Just put this in user-config.jam (or maybe site-config.jam or your Jamroot)
and then call bjam cxxdebug.

This will (re-)build everything with the correct settings...

Yours,

Jürgen
