## What it is
GleeBug is a debugging framework for Windows written in C, designed to make building debuggers and debugging tools complete and easy to use. It is developed by the x64dbg team and is currently in a volatile state of active development.

## Use cases
- build a custom debugger for windows
- script debugging of windows executables
- reverse engineer windows binaries
- instrument windows processes programmatically
- create debugging tools on top of a framework

## When to choose
- you need a programmatic debugging framework on windows
- you want to build custom debugger tooling in c/c++
- you are comfortable with a volatile, evolving api

## When to avoid
- you need a stable, finished api for production use
- you need debugging on linux or macos
- you want a ready-made gui debugger rather than a framework

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: developer-tools, security, reverse-engineering
- domain: developer-tools, security, reverse-engineering, windows
- platform: windows, cpp, c
- tags: debugger, debugging-framework, windows-debugging, x64dbg
