A modern Rust debugging library.
This project's goal is to provide a modern debugger library for Rust so that you could build custom debuggers specific for your application. It will be developed with modern operating systems and platforms in mind.
Currently, Headcrab supports Linux x86_64 as the primary target. It's intended to be used as a library, but at this time it's not production-ready and the API stability is not guaranteed.
You can try some example applications. E.g., a command line interface to some of the exposed functions:
cargo run --example repl
This project exists thanks to all the people who contribute.
