Which debugger setup do you guys use?

I think making them inspectible with a debugger would require to assign a memory location to consts.

Kind of did it at comp time:

View compile time values in a debugger

I’m getting my feet wet in zig with a toy game project. As is it very early, I end up with lots of compilation time values. Is there an idiomatic way to make those available to a debugger (e.g. RAD Debugger, RemedyBG), i.e. in a watch window expression or usable in a conditional breakpoint. I expect I would have to write something in code, because if it’s not used, it’s not compiled so it doesn’t have a value, but could I force the evaluation by giving some function a type (e.g. main), and all…

But it’s kind of a manual job to put it in a global variable on the side. Not great, but better then nothing.

edit: I think floooh meant something else the compiler would do. My solution is memory location based, but you have to list the types you want the const from.
