What does this PR do?
Adds a new interactive debugger based on debugger.lua.
Premake already contains some remote debugger integration (MobDebug), however this PR introduces an integrated debugger, any call to
dbg()
will launch the user into an interactive GDB-like TUI shell to allow interactive debugging on the spot.How does this PR change Premake's behavior?
New
dbg()
API whenPREMAKE_DEBUGGER
is enabled.Anything else we should know?
There is an
--interactive
flag already which overlaps some of the inpect functionality available in the debugger.Also the MobDebug
--debugger
flag which also provides some of the functionality, albeit in a different package.Can we just enable this debugger by default?
If not, we could re-purpose the debugger flag and allow passing a kind
--debuger=remote/mob/builtin
.Did you check all the boxes?
