CodeTracer: A Revolutionary Time-Traveling Debugger
2025-03-06
CodeTracer is a user-friendly time-traveling debugger supporting a wide range of programming languages. It records program execution into sharable, self-contained trace files, allowing users to move forward and backward through execution in a GUI, examining the history of all memory locations. Compared to traditional debuggers, CodeTracer offers two major advantages: easily reproducing and debugging hard-to-reproduce bugs; and quickly pinpointing bug origins by tracing the source of any value in the program. Currently supporting Noir, it will expand to support more Web3 development languages and integrate into IDEs like VS Code.
