Yeah, it really needs to be tested to tell. I remember taking a course in
VAX Macro asm back in the days of dinosaur eggs and phonograph needles. The
book, DEC, and the teacher all said you could turn off the VAX debugging mode
when you compiled. I wrote some self-modifying code for one of the exercises (I
wouldn't do that in real life ;-) The compiler still slapped in some debugging
stuff and it wouldn't work. It was a real simple program though so the
instructor checked it and passed it anyway ;-)
