Starting from certain version of Visual Studio C compiler (I don’t have the exact version. I am using VS2019), CpuDeadLoop is optimized quite well by compiler. The compiler does not generate instructions that jump out of the loop when the "Index" is non-zero. It becomes harder/impossible for developers to break out of the dead-loop in debugger. The new version of CpuDeadLoop() compares a volatile global to a volatile local. This forces 2 reads and a comparison on every loop iteration. The local variable can be set to 1 to exit the loop without modifying the global variable. Using VS2019 with max opt enabled, The dead-loop can be exit by setting Index to 1 in a debugger.
