It's the biggest problem I have with debuggers. Interestingly, with rr you can usually reverse-stepi a little, and get the value from a slightly earlier time, where its location was known to the debug info. A life saver, although depending on what the code does to the value, that might not help entirely. If only rr was available on all platforms... I guess TTD can help similarly on Windows.
- roblabla 6y agoWinDBG Preview's TTD works really well, it's a really solid alternative to rr... if you can get past windbg's terrible ui/ux and piss poor discoverability. I really hope someone makes the TTD stuff available from vscode (or even better, from IDA) so I can use the awesome core functionality without the terrible frontend.
