Now with this debug information, the Debug@Chip tool is aware of the names and locations of your
program's variables. Breakpoints can be set at source level. A further benefit is that you can see
between the source lines to inspect the code produced by the compiler. For example, the API interface
used in hello.c shown above was a bit daring. How can we be sure that the compiler is not using the
registers that we are setting directly? (In general, there is no guarantee that the compiler will not
immediately write over our register settings with a subsequent instruction.) Through the
Debug@Chip's Mix window this code inspection is straightforward.
