Abstract
Methods, systems, and computer program products are provided that enable a portion of code to be marked in source code to disable compilation optimizations for the marked portion of code, while the rest of the source code is compiled with optimizations. In this manner, edit-and-continue debugging may be performed on the compiled source code in an enhanced manner. Modifications made to the marked source code (as well as the rest of the source code) may be compiled in an incremental manner, such that the portions of the source code affected by the modifications are compiled, while unaffected portions of the source code are not recompiled.
