I am wondering if there is a way use a debugger on a program in the V5 brain, I have a script that has a memory permission error, and while I am sure that the community could quite easily fix it; I would like to be able to fix it myself. There are other cases where I would like to run a debugger to see when my program does something unexpected.

Really the only way is to comment out code until it works or put print statements every few lines so you can find where it crashes.

Thank you.
How can I see the output of the print statements? I am using VEXCode.
what I do is I comment out lines I think may be an issue, until the program doesn’t break, then I slowly narrow down what lines are causing the issues by uncommenting one line at a time.

The easiest way would probably be to write to the v5 screen.

If you’re downloading wired, you can send output to the terminal and view that. You should be able to use std::cout << “print this stuff”;

The only real time debugger I know of right now is in Robot Mesh Studio’s Python (and Blockly, which generates Python). For any of the C++ options out right now, you’re going to be stuck with the old methods of printouts and etc.

If you use PROS, they have a feature that prints out the current stack address to the terminal, so you can use addr2line to figure out where the segfault is in the code.
