Abstract
A software development system is described that enables a user that is debugging source code to select for unoptimizing a function within the source code and to cause an edit and continue operation to be performed that produces a compiled version of the source code in which the selected function is unoptimized, while other functions remain optimized. Embodiments also enable a user to select a previously unoptimized function within the source code for re-optimizing and to cause an edit and continue operation to be performed that produces a compiled version of the source code in which the function is re-optimized. Still further embodiments enable a user to select within source code that is being developed a function for which optimization should be prevented and to cause a compiled representation of the source code to be built in which the selected function is unoptimized, while other functions are optimized.
