In my experience, that depends upon the debugger, the compiler, and the
type of problem being debugged. We used to use the Irix MIPS-Pro C
compiler, and I used dbx to debug problems when necessary; I only rarely
felt the need to use debugging printf()s. We're now using exclusively
gcc, and I have only gdb to debug with, and even when I compile with
-O0, the behavior of the code as displayed by gdb quite frequently
deviates significantly from what I wrote. I can't be sure whether this
is due to the compiler or the debugger, or both.
As a result, I've often found it necessary to use debugging printf()s to
extract information about what's going on that's actually consistent
with the way I wrote the code.
