You might be referring to sequence points.

While I don't deny that some debuggers might implement this this way
(<shudder>), let's focus on a specific example: gdb on Linux on an x86
box.  In this case, newer versions of gdb do take advantage of
hardware watchpoints, which allows a debugged program to run at full
speed.
