dnSpyEx vs Ruby debug

dnSpyEx is an unofficial continuation of dnSpy, a debugger and .NET assembly editor for working with assemblies without source code. It can debug .NET Framework, .NET, and Unity game assemblies, with breakpoints, tracepoints, conditional breakpoints, exception breakpoints, and multiple-process debugging. Editing covers metadata and methods or classes in C# and Visual Basic, plus low-level IL method bodies. The project lists C# and Visual Basic decompilers using the ILSpy engine, along with a BAML decompiler and disassembler. Assembly search, class and method usage analysis, caller finding, bookmarks, and project export are also included. A public API supports extensions, and the C# Interactive window can control or script dnSpyEx. The latest stable release listed is v6.6.0, which adds a .NET 10 distribution. It is free under GPLv3. Release notes describe Wine compatibility adjustments for Linux, not native Linux support. Dynamic methods cannot be debugged because of CLR limitations.

Ruby debug is a free, BSD-2-Clause open-source debugger for Ruby MRI 2.7 and later, delivered for Linux and self-hosted use. Its console evaluates Ruby expressions, inspects program state, controls execution, sets conditional and exception breakpoints, and enables tracing. The debugger can record execution and replay it by stepping backward through the log. Remote sessions work over UNIX domain sockets or TCP/IP, allowing a console to attach to a running program. An IRB console adds autocompletion, multiline input, and commands including `show_source` and `show_doc`. The `rdbg` command launches Ruby scripts and commands such as Rails, Rake, and RSpec under debugging. Frontends are described for VS Code and Chrome DevTools; VS Code requires the vscode-rdbg extension. Installation uses `gem install debug` or a Gemfile entry. The project reports no performance penalty when not stepping and with no breakpoints set. It warns that remote messages are unencrypted and that `debug/open_nonstop` can expose access without stopping the program.
