Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention provide a method, computer program product, and system for debugging optimized code. The system includes a FAT binary, wherein the FAT binary comprises a non-optimized native code and an internal representation of a program's source code. An optimus program is configured to transform the internal representation of the program's source code into a fully optimized native code. The system also includes an enhanced loader, wherein the enhanced loader is configured to communicate with a debugger to determine a type of code to load.
