This is not completely realistic. There are sometimes interactions
with libraries,
compilers... Simple programs have to be debug on occasions. I adhere with t=
he
print+thought, more than with the allways rewrite (though on some
occassions that
is the way...). I also love dumping the stack with acid now and then.
It is invaluable
for finding faster deadlocks or lost pointers.=20
