Show HN: Dbg.h: C macro for quick and dirty print debugging
Hey, very useful. Thanks! Similar to ic() for python, but with the nice ability to be used inline.

- When you are looking at someone else's code base and you want to make a copy of it to put in a million print statements to understand it, what is good practice in terms of version control and naming the copy?

Pythoneers here, what are some of the best python tricks you guys use when progrmming with python
Icecream is great for this. Just calling ic(foo) gives you the same thing on stderr.

What Python debugger do you use?
I get around this by using loguru (a wrapper around python's logger), so I get information like the calling function and line number with my debugging statements. I don't use it these days (and actually built something extremely similar around the same time), but icecream is another alternative that facilitates debugging-by-print

Does anyone use python debugger?
Most of the time I simply use icecream (a much better version of print()), and sometimes, I use pudb (a visual debugger) for tougher/trickier bugs.

In the future using something like icecream might be interesting as well.

The unreasonable effectiveness of print debugging
For python: i specifically recommend https://github.com/zestyping/q a lot, which is like print debugging on steroids:
All output goes to /tmp/q (or on Windows, to $HOME/tmp/q). You can watch the output with this shell command while your program is running: -
