That’s definitely not what a debugger is. You can’t add prints to a coredump and the run->add prints->compile->loop sucks a lot, especially if the bug is hard or slow to trigger.

I think the main promise of an IDE is being integrated. But maybe it could just be done with libraries.

Yeah, but the core dump doesn't give you an answer on how the program ended up in failure state, does it?
