What building a debugger can teach about C++ tooling
A series of eight articles published on June 2, 2026, traces debugger construction, from connecting to a process to handling source code and symbols.

What happened and what to do
The article series covers debugger construction in eight parts, starting with connecting to a process and addressing the handling of source code and symbols. It presents aspects of debugger internals relevant to C++ development.
A company maintaining C++ systems can map its debugging workflow and identify gaps in tools, documentation, and observability. Based on that diagnosis, it can implement automation to collect runtime data, organize symbols and source code for analysis, and build dashboards to track recurring failures—without assuming that building a debugger is the right solution.
How the consultancy can help
Wendelmaques can diagnose the debugging workflow and team needs, scope an implementation for collecting, organizing, and visualizing runtime data, and support operation of the solution.
