I recently learned you can do a similar thing with C/C++ too. Programmatically raise a SIGINT when running under gdb, and gdb will intercept that signal, at which point you can step through the code.

Yeah, in Windows you have the `DebugBreak/__debugbreak()` function [0].

For POSIX you have `raise(SIGTRAP)` or gcc you have `__builtin_trap()` which actually has some caveats. [1]
