How debuggers work

Writing this post in response to the WeekendDevPuzzle of 2022-01-15. This thread has a bunch of submissions, and it's insightful to go over how we often think about debuggers. I'll be linking this post to this twitter thread, which may also contain some follow up twitter follow ups later.

On Linux

Let's start with a simple piece of code. This is the program we'll be debugging. As you can see, it's a fairly simple piece of code. We will be setting a breakpoint on the crashtest function, crashing the debugger and seeing what happens.

Let's start with running this program (we've compiled using gcc -o testdebugcrash testdebugcrash.c). We'll be running this on Linux for now (the importance of this will be understood later). ![start-program](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/1546858/149652729-dbfa2104-a

Weekend Dev Puzzle

Some time between 2021-22, I ran a list of puzzles designed to push developers into developing a better understanding of the technologies they use on a day to day basis. Each puzzle is designed to be fun, provocative, and short.

This is a complete list of those puzzles. Each link takes you to the tweet where I first posed the problem. If you like any of them, please feel free to share with others.

Edit (2024-01-27): Adding other puzzles to this 2024 onwards. Criteria:

1. Problem statement should be understandable by most in s/w tech, even if the ability to figure it out may not be.
2. Thinking about the problem should lead to clearer understanding of some foundational concept.
3. Should be short.
4. Should be fun to ponder over.

        -- This part of the query can be pretty much anything.
        -- The only requirement is that it have three columns:
        --   dt, user_id, inc_amt
        -- Where dt is a date and user_id is some unique identifier for a user.
        -- Each dt-user_id pair should be unique in this table.
        -- inc_amt represents the amount of value that this user created on dt.
        -- The most common case is
        --   inc_amt = incremental revenue from the user on dt
