Abstract
An enhanced compiler recognizes debug script which is embedded with program statements in a source code, and emits compiled code containing various debugger command instructions among program instructions. Embedded commands are not limited to break or assert statements. Different portions of a program's compiled code are either tailored for debugging or else performance optimized, depending on the location and kind of embedded debug script statements. Debugger commands for debugging race conditions, intermittent bugs, mutation testing code versions, and other complex development challenges are documented and versioned as part of the source code. Program process execution paths are chosen based on call stack search results, touch counts, breakpoint status, and other data accessed via a debugger. Debug script statements are categorized and utilized to balance debugging support against performance optimization in code from a source generator, or just-in-time code.
