System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

It helps you quickly pinpoint why a Nim program crashes, behaves unexpectedly, or corrupts memory by guiding you through the most effective debugging signals available.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Stack traces that match your build mode: Explain how -d:debug, -d:release, and -d:danger affect stack trace fidelity and how to restore line-traced stack output with --lineTrace:on.
  • Fast runtime inspection: Use echo, debugEcho, and repr to inspect values even when $ is unavailable or side effects are restricted.
  • Compiler and runtime diagnostics: Expand macro output (--expandMacro), inspect ARC/ownership operations (--expandArc), and find unsafe-memory issues with AddressSanitizer (or Valgrind as a fallback).

Quick Start

Ask the AI to help you debug a failing Nim program by reproducing the error, extracting the most informative stack trace, and then narrowing the root cause using either --expandMacro, --expandArc, or AddressSanitizer based on the suspected failure type.
