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 pro-
gram 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
