Max Copperman published a paper in TOPLAS on debugging optimized code.
And though we never published, if you can find an old Apollo Domain
system with sr9.5 or later, its debugger did a fair job of debugging
optimized code, in the presence of inlining, and most standard global
optimizations. Didn't have to deal with scheduling much for the 68k
architecture, though. -- __
