x64dbg
An open-source user mode debugger for Windows. Optimized for reverse engineering and malware analysis.
Several months have passed since the last part was posted. Maintainers of x64dbg have continued to improve its functionality. They also opened a task to update the development tools. So in this post, we will continue the analysis based on commit f518e50 code and, where possible, we'll compare it with the commit 9785d1a, which is accurate at the time of writing.

Well, one thing you can use alongside this project is a small library called cpp-dump, which lets you pretty print variables. https://github.com/philip82148/cpp-dump
It's just a normal library you can use with any compiled project, but it works nicely with Root C++ for built-in and std types.
Great if (say) you're working through implementing vector or linear algebra and want a nice way to display your multi-dimensional arrays and vectors.
Just copy the project folder somewhere (most conveniently where you invoke the interpreter from), do `#include "cpp-dump/dump.hpp` and then `cpp_dump(myVariable)` to print your variables.
You can see what it looks in this example where I was mucking about with permutations of vectors: https://i.imgur.com/yRpY5Bj.png
