: compilers that don't. -John]


And:


Try to make debugging features and optimization features as orthogonal
as possible so both can be used at the same time. Yes I realize that
is a hard problem, but as a developer, I'm willing to accept
compromise. For example, I can deal with the fact that the code I'm
trying to debug doesn't exist because it was optimized away so long as
the debugger gives me a concrete notion that this is the case. Often
the debugger just applies breakpoints to different pieces of code
instead of what I pointed at, etc.
