I've used kd/windbg at Microsoft, lldb at Apple, gdb at Intel; WinDbg(Next) and kd are still my absolute favorite.
Coolest feature of windbg is time travel debugging - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/debuggercmds/time-travel-debugging-replay https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/d...
- flysand7 1y agoRemedyBG might also be worth looking at. It is my go to debugger that I've used on Windows and it's made to look and feel like the debugger that comes with Visual Studio, except that it works way faster and you can hold the "Go to next line" key and see the watch window update in real time. Unfortunately you have to pay for it and it doesn't work on linux, but oh well.
