Variable

Package: compiler

As with all compiler switch variables, the value of this variable can be t, nil, or a function object that accepts four arguments and returns t or nil. The arguments passed to the function will be the values of the safety, space, speed, and debug optimization qualities, in that order. nil is equivalent to a function that always returns nil and t to a function that always returns t. When the value is a function and we say t (or true) or nil (or false) in the text below, we mean that the function returns, respectively, t or nil.

If true, information about when local variables are alive is saved in compiled code, making debugging more easy. Initially true only when debug is 3.
