   Never develop your program with optimization! → http://draketo.de/light/english/free-software/tco-debug — optimization can lead to changes in algorithmic complexity !fs #programming !gnu #gcc

     I didn't read your post, but "changes in algorithmic complexity" is not the reason if optimization is intended for the release.

     I rewrote the dent 3 times to make it fit twitter… as result the dent is much easier to read, now ☺ (that’s what you get from copyediting)

     the post is about what happens if you try to debug such code.

     “Never develop with optimizations the debug mode does not offer!” → The more exact version of the text ☺ (but too long for twitter)

     Never develop with optimizations which the debug mode of the compiler of the future maintainer does not use. ← even more exact.

     OK, this makes sense, though not in comparison with your dent.

     @zoowar seems my dent-compression was too lossy ☺
