Re: how to examine data with compiler optimization option set?


The documentation is slightly outdated, as stabs has hardly any support
for debugging optimized code.  Better stick with DWARF2/3.

Note that the debugger behavior is usually expected considering
the debugging information generated by the compiler. I heard there
is some effort to improve the debugging information, but generally
speaking, debugging optimized code right now can be tricky.
