+#      Note 1: gcc can always have both -g and optimisation on.

+#      Note 2: debugging optimised code, no matter what compiler
+#      one is using, can be surprising and confusing because of
+#      the optimisation tricks like code motion, code removal,
+#      loop unrolling, and inlining. The source code and the
+#      executable code simply do not agree any more while in
+#      mid-execution, the optimiser only cares about the results.
