Ensure that all table-stakes debugger operations are rock-solid and fast Debug symbol parsing Subordinate process control flow (i.e. stepping) Basic variable value rendering Stack unwinding etc. Remote debugging Conditional breakpoints Data/address breakpoints (i.e. break when an address is accessed or a variable mutated) Trace points (observe variable values over time without actually pausing the subordinate program) Load and view core dumps Assembly viewer Ability to track and visualize system calls (similar to strace) Various/proc views (there's lots of interesting information in there) Complete UI/UX revamp Dear ImGUI has been decent, but it has its limitations; we'll probably just end up writing our own if I had to guess I'm really looking for a fast UI system that allows my users to write interesting visualization plugins for their own needs with minimal effort If you're thinking about tackling a major new feature, I'd recommend reaching out first to make sure we're on the same page and effort isn't wasted going in the wrong direciton.
