rdbg

Quick and dirty Rust remote debugging. This crate is more or less equivalent to dbg and println in the stdlib but delivers the payloads via a TCP socket to a remote viewer.

Features

• No dependencies
• Enabled and added in seconds
• Familiar API
• Can be quickly be removed or compiled into "no-op"

Example

let world = "world!";
// More or less equivalent to `println`
rdbg::msg!("Hello {}", world);

// More or less equivalent to `dbg`
rdbg::vals!(world, 1 + 1);

That works fine for servers and long running programs, but since the messages are delivered via a different thread there is an implicit race condition. As such, if your program is not a server or long running you will likely need the wait_and_quit function at the end of your program. This will pause execution until all messages have been sent via the TCP socket.

let world = "world!";
// More or less equivalent to `println`
rdbg::msg!("Hello {}", world);

// More or less equivalent to `dbg`
rdbg::vals!(world, 1 + 1);
// Wait for messages to be transmitted before exiting
rdbg::quit_and_wait();

Usage

[dependencies]
rdbg = "0.1.2"

Features

• enabled (default) - enables debugging
• insecure-remote - Listens on 0.0.0.0 for remote debugging purposes (insecure, no auth)

Use --no-default-features option to quickly turn this crate into a no-op. Please note that due to feature unification other uses of this crate within the same project could turn it back on.
