I am curious to know how optimized code can guarantee the integrity of the
program state when a breakpoint occurs.  I am assuming that optimized code
will execute the program stmts in parallel or even out of sequence.  If that
is the case, when the program is in debug and a breakpoint is hit, how will
the variables be guaranteed to hold the values as per the original non
optimized source code and not as per the actual optimized code ?

thanks,

Steve Richter
