This white paper provides an outline on the concept of debugging optimized code. This paper discusses the way compiler transformations affect debugging, the practical problems in debugging optimizing code and techniques that can be used to overcome the problems in debugging optimized code.
There is a lot of activity currently on this subject. But after all this, no usable product has evolved till date to debug optimized code. This is due to the practical problems involved in debugging optimized code. This white paper analyses the practical problems in debugging optimized code and presents a clear interface between a compiler and debugger in achieving debugging of optimized code.
