Abstract
Assistance is given to aid in optimizing a program's performance during initial development while the program's features are still being implemented and/or debugged, without interfering with that development, by providing easy-to-ignore yet accurate tips about a program's performance inside a debugger. Raw performance information for a software program which is being debugged in a debugger is adjusted by removing from it a measured debug overhead or other diagnostic overhead. Some factors considered when measuring overhead include pauses, context switches, debug versus release build presence, bounds checking, funceval, and call stack analyses. The debugger is enhanced to display the adjusted program performance measure in a graphical user interface, next to the corresponding source code. The enhanced debugger updates the adjusted program performance measure value and keeps its screen location current as the developer moves through the source code, providing more detailed performance information upon request.
