NetCoreDbg is a managed code debugger for the .NET Core runtime (CoreCLR) that implements both GDB/MI and the VSCode Debug Adapter Protocol. It enables debugging .NET applications from the command line, IDEs, and editors like VSCode.

Use cases

• debug .NET Core applications from the command line
• set up C# debugging in VSCode via a debug adapter
• debug .NET apps with GDB-style MI interface
• debug CoreCLR apps on Linux ARM64 or RISC-V
• integrate .NET debugging into a custom editor or IDE

When to choose

• you need a DAP debug adapter for .NET Core on Linux, macOS, or Windows
• you want GDB/MI-style command-line debugging for managed .NET code
• you need debugging support on less common architectures like RISC-V or LoongArch
• you're building an editor integration for C# debugging

When to avoid

• you only debug on Windows with Visual Studio, which has built-in debugging
• you need to debug .NET Framework (non-Core) applications
• you want a graphical debugger UI out of the box without an editor
