Investigate which debugger to add to Mudlet

Open vadi2 opened this issue 11 months ago • 2 comments

Brief summary of issue / Description of requested feature:

Better debugging and scripting tools are a very popular request for Mudlet, and one thing that Mudlet lacks is a proper debugger.

This issue is setup to track which Lua debugger would be best to add to Mudlet.

Judging criteria are:

  • open source license
  • active project
  • intuitive C++ API
  • doesn't slow Mudlet down when in use by a lot
  • doesn't incur a cost when not in use

Debuggers considered:

Name Pros Cons In consideration?
ModDebug ? ? ?
debugger.lua ? ? ?

We'll have a separate issue to implement the best option once we have sorted out which debugger is best to add.

the script from @mikeggh created from this long Discord conversation long processing was great to find hold ups in the code

Could be a scripting improvement - underlining the code line that has a compile-time bug, see: https://github.com/edbee/edbee-lib/issues/151
