godebug is a cross-platform debugger for Go that works by instrumenting source code with debugging calls, similar to how go tool cover handles code coverage. It is deprecated and no longer maintained, with derekparker/delve recommended as its replacement.

Use cases

  • debug a go program with breakpoints
  • step through go code line by line
  • inspect variables while debugging go
  • debug go tests interactively
  • build a standalone debuggable go binary

When to choose

  • you need a dependency-free debug binary for a staging server and cannot use delve
  • maintaining a legacy project already built around godebug

When to avoid

  • starting any new Go debugging workflow - use delve instead
  • you need to step into standard library packages
  • you need an actively maintained tool
