In response to [image] State of the Debugger General Usage Hi there, I just wanted to ask about the state of the debugger in Julia. I am coming from Matlab and the debugger there is quite important for me to see where something is going wrong. For example, using NLsolve …

An update, since apparently some people are gatekeeping Julia adoption on the completion of these compiler work items: these items are all complete as envisioned at the time this was posted (and have been for a while). Additional details follow. [image] StefanKarpinski: Correctness: finding an…

Another option is OpenCollective - https://opencollective.com/ For example Crystal language has an Open Collective community: Crystal Language - Open Collective

Thanks for posting that summary @StefanKarpinski , it’s difficult to keep track of all the progress unless you’re a Julia nerd. I’d add that @atomic and friends are now exported for a more robust and general multithreading approach (AFAIU, I’m still trying to wrap my head around that myself)

The atomics work wasn’t even on this priority list, but yes, that’s been an important addition to the multithreading work that was finished recently. You can read about the design of atomics here and watch this lightning talk that Jameson gave about it last week: [Atomic fields: the new pri…

[image] StefanKarpinski: The biggest change here is that precompilation is now done at package install time and in parallel using multiple threads. Are you talking about Pkg.precompile? Doesn’t it use multiple processes, not multiple threads?

[image] StefanKarpinski: Debugger Works and is pretty smooth and featureful. Sorry but not my experience. Doesn’t always stop at breakpoints and other times crashes where on REPL would work. Got better but still far from satisfactory.

Thanks for the update. Is making Revise.jl work with redefined structs, eg something like https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/issues/40399 on the radar in the medium run? It is a workflow issue, but currently the major time drain for me when refactoring code.

What is the best way for people to register interest in “Revise for structs”? Just on a Revise.jl GitHub issue?
