My opinion is different. No two versions.

I use the lowest compilers optimization level that I need in the project, like parameter-in-registers or data-overlaying, or others. It depends on the compiler also (Keil, SDCC).

So that can be debugged fine. Never ever I switch to a higher optimization level for the final product then.

Can I guarantee that the code is still correct, when I turn on the highest optimization level after test/debug? No I can't. Do the SDCC compiler developers care about the problems with my customers then, no they don't.

My tests done before, like code coverage, would be obsolete too.

This could turn into a real nightmare!

I am responsible for my product, what I deliver must be excactly what I have tested before.

What\'s more important optimisations or debugging?            01/01/70 00:00      
   as Ive said before,you have two versions            01/01/70 00:00      
      Fly what you debug; Debug what you fly            01/01/70 00:00      
         Yes and No            01/01/70 00:00
