Challenges of Debugging Optimized x64 Code

An excellent bridge into 64 bit debugging

This is a great introduction to bridge the gap for those who are familiar with x86 debugging and are trying to make the jump to x64 debugging. Having done some x86 debugging and having limited time to spend learning new techniques for x64, this detailed and well documented example, is an excellent start!

[Thanks for the great feedback, EdZ!]

Thanks Trey. This is insightful. I have attended training related to unassembly and still I always loose track, but now I can save this as a cube note for reference.

BTW, the same challenges can happen when debugging LTCG-optimized x86 code.
