- bentley 2y agoMy general experience has been that it’s great at turning rare crashes into frequent crashes, which are much easier to fix.
- fc417fc802 2y agoCan't you launch the debugger as root and attach to the process? Which is to say, I'd expect the experience to be approximately the same. Alternatively, debug in a VM where the security features are disabled. > especially the memory randomization ones I have never once relied on memory addresses being reproducible between program runs. In an era of ASLR that seems like a really bad plan. Plus multithreading breaks that for malloc'd stuff anyway.
