DBG

What is DBG?

DBG is a Go debugger, written primarily in Go. It really needs a new name.

Features

• Attach to (trace) a running process
• Set breakpoints
• Single step through a process
• Next through a process (step over / out of subroutines)
• Never retype commands, empty line defaults to previous command

Usage

• break - Set break point at the entry point of a function, or at a specific file/line. Example: break foo.go:13.

• step - Single step through program.

• next - Step over to next source line.

Upcoming features

• Handle Gos multithreaded nature better (follow goroutine accross thread contexts)
• In-scope variable evaluation
• In-scope variable setting
• Readline integration
• Ability to launch debugging session from debugged program, with breakpoint set correctly
