Do you often need debugger when you are writing code? For
which tasks debugger are more needed for you?
I don't use a debugger for D. Most of the code I deal with is
my own code anyway so I usually have a good idea of where
things go wrong when they go wrong. But I think that it is also
down to D being debug-friendly by nature (and I usually insert
simple "debug" statements and / or unittests). In my
experience, it doesn't even need an IDE. I think that's a sign
of quality.
What this guy said. I currently have a 20,000+ lines project and
I haven't used a debugger once and have only done manual
compiling; yet I haven't encountered any bugs or errors I haven't
been able to fix within a short time; without going through a lot
of code. I think I would probably have spend longer fixing bugs
and errors using a debugger, breakpointing than simply analyzing
code myself.
All code is written by myself though and everything is
documented, so I have a pretty good view over the project itself
and anybody who decided to use it should have no problem
navigating it either.
Hands down to D for being as it is.
