This still exists? You can also use JavaScript to script/extend and there is a native code API too.

Note: I do work at MSFT, I have used these capabilities but I’m not on the debugger team.

thanks for the pointers glad to hear it’s all still there

i haven’t seen this type of capability used in too many companies tbh and it seems like a lot of opportunity to improve stability and debugging speed and even code exploration/learning (did i break something ?)

WinDbg also has time-travel/record-replay debugging.

that sounds like a super-powerful feature especially for multithreaded debugging though i’ve never used anything like it.
