Message-ID: <14894@bu-cs.BU.EDU> Date: Mon, 26-Oct-87 16:21:45 EST Article-I.D.: bu-cs.14894 Posted: Mon Oct 26 16:21:45 1987 Date-Received: Wed, 28-Oct-87 22:21:42 EST Sender: tower@bu-cs.BU.EDU Reply-To: ram@Sun.COM Organization: Boston U. Comp. Sci. Lines: 11 Keywords: Debugger, Optimization, Vectorization Approved: compilers@ima.UUCP Return-Path: Vectorizing & Optimizing compilers are dime a dozen these days, but debuggers for these compilers with optimizations turned on are not available (at least to my knowledge). It seems that one has to "reverse-compile" the optimized code for source level debuggers. Are there any reverse-compilers? Such compilers would also be helpful as a tool to aid programmers in writing optimal code. -- Send compilers articles to ima!compilers or, in a pinch, to tower@bu-cs.bu.edu Plausible paths are { ihnp4 | decvax | cbosgd | harvard | yale | cca}!ima Please send responses to the originator of the message -- I cannot forward mail accidentally sent back to compilers.
