14.29 Debugging optimized code

HP WDB supports debugging of optimized code (compiled with both -g and -O) for HP aC++, HP ANSI C and HP WDB for HP Itanium.

The following commands evaluate the name of a function and hence are affected by the optimization level of the program being debugged (in particular, due to inlining):

•break

•call

•clear

•disassem

•list

The following commands evaluate an expression referring to variables in the user program and hence, are affected by the optimization level of the program being debugged:

•break

•call

•cond

•jump

•return

•print

•set <var>

•watch

•whatis x

NOTE: The break and call commands involve evaluation of both the name of a function and an expression.

The following commands are also affected by the optimization level of the program being debugged:

•backtrace

•display

•down

•finish

•frame

•info *

•next

•step

•tbreak

•rbreak

•up
