Re:DDD was a great debugger – what would a modern equivalent... by Veserv on Monday January 26, 2026 @02:35AM (#46762847)
Sounds like you want time travel debugging [1]. Then you can just run forwards and backwards as needed and look at the full evolution of state and causality. You usually want to use a integrated history visualization tool to make the most of that since the amount of state you are looking at is truly immense; identifying the single wrong store 17 billion instructions ago can be a pain without it.
