Description Cristi Vlasceanu 2008-03-27 15:50:20 UTC 
The Linux version of the compiler generates debug information for internal, temporary variables (named _TMPxx, where xx is a number). This clutters the debugger views with needless information.
Comment 1 Jarrett Billingsley 2008-03-27 17:14:02 UTC 
Happens on Windows too, at least when debugging in VC6.
Comment 2 Andrei Alexandrescu 2013-11-15 18:02:48 UTC 
Is this still relevant?
Comment 3 Benjamin Thaut 2013-11-17 01:06:23 UTC 
Yes, I still see all the temporary variables in the locals view when debugging on windows.
Comment 4 Martin Nowak 2013-11-21 07:58:07 UTC 
The frontend uses '__' prefixed variables for temporaries. They are not handled specially by the backend, therefor the debug info.
