I realized I'd only previously posted a teaser to WhiteBox's Handmade Seattle 2021 demo.
Here's the best compressed overview of what WhiteBox is and how you might use it:

.@azmreece's talk it out! A deep, technical look into concrete methods for reducing layers of indirection, memory accesses, and showing his Xar data-structure: A simple, pointer-stable, CPU-friendly, growable array.

Someone kindly pointed out that our friendly discord URL was broken.
I think I screwed it up while changing DNS details for our email provider...
Anyway, if you haven't yet joined, the link should be live again: chat.whitebox.systems

Can confirm, I've seen the bits, they are indeed the finest, highest quality bits money can buy. Primo bits.

I'm going to finish painting a door frame, maybe have a bite to eat, then stream some cozy WhiteBox dev: fixing bugs, edge-cases & jank UI.

This worked in that it removed a fixed cost, although it's not a huge proportion (~3-10%).
Going through the process brought out some more low-hanging fruit for optimizations.
(And once other costs are reduced, the fixed cost here will represent a larger percentage 😂)

I've got an idea that I think should majorly speed up breakpoint recovery that I'll be trying out this week.
All going well, this should mean dense inspections cause less slowdown. The effect should be particularly noticeable for multithreaded user code.

(The infrastructure for this was needed regardless of speedup, so I'd only used summary profiling before doing this, and overestimated its individual impact.)

I'm streaming some WhiteBox dev now! (@whitebox_sys)
I'm going to add some new debugger features by JIT compiling into the user process.

If you'd like to be able to use/inspect constants in your debugger...

AI-generated code is not used to build WhiteBox.
You can rest easy, knowing that all our software is handcrafted by artisans using organic, grass-fed, free range bits.

Know when the thing you're interested happens?
Sample every time it does.
Know where but not when it happens?
Over-sample, then highlight whenever an expression is true.
Found what you're looking for and don't need context?
Filter what's visible to just what's relevant.

One hour until the WhiteBox demo is presented at the Handmade Seattle conference.
We're showing off how we use it to solve real-world bugs, making use of some new features that haven't been shown until now!
You can watch it as it's livestreamed at handmadecities.com/seattle/

See if you can spot the clip of WhiteBox debugging WhiteBox...

For me: logging & debugging slice the world in different ways.
As you say, debuggers are wide on state but you can only see a single instant in time.
Logging lets you see across time, but only for specific data at instrumented points in the code.

printf debugging can go quite far. But everyone please don't sleep on using an actual debugger!
A list of reasons on why you should use an actual debugger:
1. You don't have to think about which state to encode into strings and how to do so

WhiteBox lets you go wide on both
Although it can't remove resource constraints, the idea is to let developers scale between these extremes & include as much data or time as needed
(And because it can operate on historical data you can retroactively decide what Watches to set)

Where debuggers and logs are fixed at 1x100 and 100x1, WhiteBox lets you select anywhere between those: 5x20, 10x10, 25x4...
