CodeLLDB Alternatives

CodeLLDB reviews and mentions

• custom pretty printer/debug helpers for C++ debugging?
  1 project | /r/neovim | 19 May 2023

  Ok, so apparently here they are called 'data formatters' instead of pretty printers or debug helpers... https://github.com/vadimcn/codelldb/wiki/Custom-Data-Formatters

• Visualization tools when working with C++?
  2 projects | /r/computervision | 14 May 2023

  For debugging lldb supports python scripts: https://github.com/vadimcn/codelldb/wiki/Data-visualization

• Zig Build System
  8 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 14 Apr 2023

  I use VS Code on Linux to debug Zig. Haven't tried the others you mentioned, but it just emits standard DWARF symbols, so I'm guessing if you can debug C/C++ you could probably also do Zig with minimal changes? I just use the lldb VS code plugin[0], which works out of the box for me with no issues.

• How game-dev-s debug rust?
  1 project | /r/rust_gamedev | 11 Apr 2023

  It's pretty bad, unfortunately. As you discovered, using the gnu toolchain works better with code-lldb (see more info here), but it still isn't great. CLion is a little better, but costs money and lacks support in other ways compared to VSCode.

• Debug rust program as root
  1 project | /r/vscode | 2 Mar 2023
• Migrating from VSCode to Neovim
  4 projects | /r/neovim | 26 Feb 2023

  - I tried to install codelldb: https://github.com/vadimcn/vscode-lldb without success.

• Does anyone here work in gamedev with Rust as their primary language?
  4 projects | /r/rust | 25 Feb 2023

  Are you on Windows or Linux? On Windows I've had nothing but trouble getting code-lldb to display debug info for any sort of nontrivial data structure due to this issue, which means I need to switch to x86_64-pc-windows-gnu, but then that breaks other upstream crates that use cc to compile C++ code.

• [blog] Rust should own its debugger experience
  4 projects | /r/rust | 12 Jan 2023

  I've been using vscode-lldb with VS Code on macos, and I've been very happy with the experience so far.

• i need some recommendations

• using VScode codeLLDB
  1 project | /r/rust | 30 Aug 2022

  yeah since they updated the rust compiler for windows to use a different style of debugger symbols and since they changed that in CodeLLDB the variables output have not been the same. Though i believe the owner has been trying to fix it. But any issues you do have report them on the codeLLDB git https://github.com/vadimcn/vscode-lldb
