Feature request: debugger & debugger UI

Open TMTBO opened this issue 3 years ago • 4 comments

Have you considered adding a debugger and debugger UI to xbase. Something like vimspector

Hey @TMTBO, hmm it crossed my mind as something super useful to have xbase support, but believe or not I never used a debugger before so I'm not sure where to start. Could share a few cases where you find yourself needing or using a debugger.

Well,but how do you debug your program? I just want to debug the program like Xcode. That's okay. If it's not part of your plan. And I'll find another way.

Not OP, but just from the top of my mind:

  • setting regular breakpoints or conditional breakpoints
  • checking the stack trace of the function call to see what called that function and on what thread I am, also looking at other threads
  • printing/dumping contents of objects' parameters
  • using po as a REPL while stopped at a breakpoint (useful when performing tasks like data conversion)
