Kernel Debugging: Difference between revisions

There are some Cons on this approach. For example, you are far from your target environment when you code like this. This is further aggravated by the fact that so-called ''freestanding'' environments are dramatically more sensiblesensitive to undefined behaviour, specially uninitialized variables. You can work around this limitation by asking the compiler to perform aggressive optimization while testing hosted, which make software more sensible to undefined behaviour, too. However, as the best debug environment is the final target environment, you will still want to test your code when you introduce in into your real kernel.
