FireDBG is a time travel visual debugger for Rust that records program execution and lets developers inspect call trees, variables, and timelines in VS Code. It consists of a CLI, a debugging engine built on LLDB, a source parser, and an indexer that stores breakpoint events in SQLite.

Use cases

• debug a rust binary with time travel debugging
• visualize the call tree of a rust program
• trace variables and expressions during rust debugging
• debug rust unit tests and integration tests
• inspect multi-threaded rust program breakpoint events
• record rust program execution and query events via sqlite

When to choose

• you need to understand complex control flow or data flow in a rust program
• you want to step backward through execution instead of rerunning repeatedly
• you debug multi-threaded rust code where traditional breakpoints are hard to coordinate
• you want to inspect variable values at any point in a recorded run

When to avoid

• your project is not a cargo workspace
• you need debugging on native Windows (only WSL 2 is supported)
• you need a lightweight debugger without recording overhead
• you work primarily in languages other than rust
