If you debug optimized C or C++ code and are sick of "Variable was optimized away" messages, try C++ Dynamic Debugging. You get the performance of optimized code, but the debuggability of unoptimized code.
Check out my talk to see how we implemented it!
We have just released a new CppCon 2025 Video!

VS2022 Dynamic Debugging 좋아보인다. 최적화 되서 디버거에서 제대로 안보이는 변수도 Deoptimize 해서 값을 확인할 수 있게 해주네.

🌟Supercharge your development process with @VisualStudio's newest feature: C++ Dynamic Debugging
It deoptimizes code that you set breakpoints on or step into, giving you the performance of optimized code with the debugging experience of unoptimized code. #GDC2025

Tired of debugging optimized code with missing variables and inlined functions?
@VisualStudio preview now has Dynamic Debugging which automatically unoptimizes functions you step into while debugging 👀
Available in UE 5.6, or with a simple cherry pick:

Edge 97 was released to stable today. It includes full CFG support in renderer and browser. This combined with CET is 👌

Bad news: none of us have the old ink_rendering.cpp code. We have a copy of the published sources, but we completely removed the guts of the ink code for IP concerns. And none of us seem to have a backup anyways. Sorry!
We never 'removed' points, but rather 'moved' them. This was patented, and I've been advised against publishing the sources for the specifics there: patents.google.com/?inventor…
I'm still digging for sources though, maybe something will be useful for you.
Interesting. We actually had issues with undersampling. I made our ink smoothing work on 60Hz & 120Hz, but even at 120Hz I think the hardware wasn't doing a great job producing touch points. That was 9 years ago, and I'm sure things are totally different now
The original (MSFT internal) source server is gone, codeplex is gone, and I can't find the sources on my machines... I'm asking my teammates if they have it.
@rharter can you expand on "reduce input points so splines work"? I'll do my best to answer
That brings back great memories! I had a ton of fun working on that project. I see codeplex is offline... Let me dig around to see if I still have the code around.
Caveat: we patented some of the ink work, but I'll see what I can publish.

We continue to invest in bringing fuzzing to every developer at Microsoft, and making it easier for everyone to continuously fuzz. We're searching for two engineers to join the team that builds OneFuzz.
