Nice! Another FLOSS GUI debugger is always welcome. A historical capture of this page provides some more context: <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20230923095510/http://www.radgametools.com/debug.htm" rel="nofollow">http://web.archive.org/web/20230923095510/http://www.radgame...</a> It's rather open, which I appreciate (I suppose it's partly why so many companies licence Bink).<p>Interestingly, it seems to have been primarily a Linux project at some point, but this released version only has Windows support. I'd also like to know what this release means for the project's future.
Does anyone have a screenshot or video of it in use?<p>Being limited to windows makes it difficult to try out, and understand what it brings over existing debugger options.
I find myself writing a great deal of C++ these days, building jank (the native Clojure dialect on LLVM with C++ interop). Even with modern practices, and Rust-like semantics (i.e. `result<R, E>`, `option<T>`, etc), every large feature implemented is followed by some period of debugging. None of the GUI debuggers I've tried, on Linux, have been compelling. Most either require IDE setup for my project or still look like they're from the 90s. I just end up using gdb, with some improved configs, in my terminal.<p>So far, the most exciting project to follow for this has been Cutter. However, I'd be easily sold on this once it gets Linux support. Thanks for making it open source. :)
I've been looking forward to this for a long time [1]. I had no idea they would release the source under a permissive license. Can't wait to try it out!<p>[1]: <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160806065601/http://www.radgametools.com/debug.htm" rel="nofollow">https://web.archive.org/web/20160806065601/http://www.radgam...</a>
<i>> Porting the src/os layers to Linux. This includes core operating system abstraction (virtual memory allocation, threading and synchronization primitives, and so on), and graphical operating system abstraction (windows, input events, and so on).</i><p>Looks like a massive undertaking. They should stick with Wayland only to limit the effort scope.
Super excited for this. Clearly has a ways to go. And tbh I kinda wish it used Dear ImGui rather than a weird, janky, custom tool.<p>The fact that it’s MIT open source is incredible.
