#124974 - to HLL or not to HLL
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Andy Neil said:
In particular, this can show up timing problems; the timings of the "real" (optimised) and "debug" (non-optimised) code will be different - so bugs that manifest in the "real" (optimised) system may well not manifest in the "debug" (non-optimised) version!

Well, if you dare to use a HLL in timing-critical real-time application... bear the consequences.

Another one is memory usage:

Then, of course, there's the just plain bad 'C' code[...]

Yeah, if you write code in C rather than program, it's just plain bad... :-)

I agree with Jez - you shouldn't use HLL unless you have enough of resources anyway - so it should work in the unoptimized version anyway, the optimisation should give you perhaps some extra reserve or so (in other words, you shouldn't rely on the optimisation).

Of course I am exagerrating.
