Go implementation of the Rust `dbg` macro

godbg 🐛

godbg is an implementation of the Rust2018 builtin debugging macro dbg.

The purpose of this package is to provide a better and more effective workflow for people who are "print debuggers".

go get github.com/tylerwince/godbg

The old way:

package main

import "fmt"

func main() {
    a := 1
    fmt.Printf("My variable: a is equal to: %d", a)
}

outputs:

My variable: a is equal to: 1

The new (and better) way

package main

import . "github.com/tylerwince/godbg"

func main() {
    a := 1
    Dbg(a)
}

outputs:

[main.go:7] a = 1

This project is a work in progress and all feedback is appreciated.

The next features that are planned are:

• Tests
• Fancy Mode (display information about the whole callstack)
• Performance Optimizations
• Typing information
