    <thetext>According to &lt;http://blogs.msdn.com/b/yvesdolc/archive/2009/09/15/consider-not-using-the-frame-pointer-optimization-when-building-your-software.aspx&gt; and the articles it links to, frame pointer omission (FPO) isn&apos;t a big performance win on Windows, and it makes a number of useful debugging tools (handle leak checking, memory leak detection, heap corruption detection) not work. It also makes it hard/impossible for profilers to capture accurate stack traces.

Bug 54403 covers turning off FPO for Release (not Release_LTCG) builds, so that developers can reap these benefits without affecting customers. But we should do some benchmarking to see whether we can turn off FPO in Release_LTCG builds, too, without affecting performance. This would allow us to use these debugging/performance tools on customer builds, too.</thetext>

    <thetext>Our builds already do this.</thetext>
