What do you mean “visual debugger?”
- XorNot 1y agoPresumably an IDE rather then dealing the gdb CLI.
- travisgriggs 1y agoI think it depends on the debugger and the language semantics as well. Debugging in Swift/Kotlin, so so. The Smalltalk debugger was one of the best learning tools I ever used. “Our killer app is our debugger” doesn’t win your language mad props though.
- knome 1y agoI don't often need gdb, but I appreciate the emacs mode that wraps it every time.
- porridgeraisin 1y agoIn vscode when you step to the next statement it highlights in the left pane the variables that change. Something like that. It's useful for a beginner e.g in a for loop to see how `i` changes at the end of the loop. And similarly with return values of functions and so on.
- recursivedoubts 1y agothe intellij debugger, for example, as opposed to a command line debugger
