Hello HN, I'd like to showcase a new feature in my Visual Studio extension, which allows for seeing what is ahead in program execution while stepping through C++ code. Each line th…

Hello HN, For a while now, I've been working on a Visual Studio extension that enables you to see code execution and variables in real-time, directly in the VS editor. A couple mon…

Every function would be pretty overkill, but you can automatically install instrumentation on functions on demand or with a pre-determined user selection. You can even instrument o…

I sympathize a lot with this post. Today, modern IDE's still don't provide automatic ways to inspect program execution and nicely visualize it. Instead, they rely on having you pla…

I'm not sure about your particular case, but if your environment really is headless, then it should absolutely be possible to run it a lot faster than realtime. It depends on what …

This is an awesome overview and if you want more, most of those are documented in an approachable way on YouTube. Just wanted to provide some perspective here on how many things th…

Hello, since some time now I develop an extension for Visual Studio that makes it possible to see what's going on in your program live. This includes which code paths are executed …

There's also a lot of apps written in Vala for elementary OS's AppCenter with screenshots & links to GitHub: https://appcenter.elementary.io/ (not all, but most). I published two a…

I'll add to that my own Visual Studio extension that improves runtime debugging by showing you which lines are actively executing and what changes happened line-by-line: https://d-…

Hello HN, for about 6 months I've been developing a Visual Studio extension that makes it easier to debug & inspect dynamic C++ code that changes state e.g every frame. The newest …

Interesting approach. Was it enough for your use case despite being quite cumbersome if you end up needing to save a bunch of different more complex instances? I mean, I imagine mo…

Hey, looks like we had the same idea! I've run into the same issue and wanted to stop building debug UI's that do the same thing. In my case, I went to implement this for Windows, …

Hey HN, Adam here. I've been building D0 - an extension that adds non-standard debugging features that help debug C++ applications in real time without setting any breakpoints. D0 …

To each their own but the notion that the debugger "will not scale to hundreds of processors and terabytes of data" just seems bizarre to me. If a debugger cannot scale to such qua…

Hey everyone, I created D0 for myself to enable faster iteration and introspection while working on my C++ projects. Particularly, it annoyed me that the simplest change of adding …

Hey, ever since I saw developer tools in today's web browsers, I wanted to have that kind of functionality available when developing C++ projects. The ability to browse the DOM tre…

The article provides a pretty good overview of the landscape of debuggers out there. I find myself using printf debugging whenever something is a dynamically evolving state and I n…

I got quite frustrated by how much native C++ programs are slow/closed to any kind of introspection/debugging so this year I will be attempting to build a live object inspector/deb…
