[Openmp-dev] Debugger default off please

[Wilmarth, Terry L]

The debugger code isn't "runtime developer"-only. It is for runtime end-users who want to write OpenMP codes and debug them using a debugger.  

Also, I believe these changes had little/no impact on performance.

The on-by-default is an artifact of building the library into a product that will be used by OpenMP programmers.  However, I'm not opposed to off-by-default if you think it is better suited to this community.

jlpeyton committed rL241852: Turn debugger interface off by default

I don't know if these emails are making it to you guys or not.  They seem to be a bit sporadic right now.

It would be most kind if performance impacting features and things meant for developers only are turned off by default. While that is the exact target audience for this library - turning things on by default also has a stronger tendency to break automated systems as well.

-DLIBOMP_USE_DEBUGGER=off

Thanks
