The command line debugger is not as rich as the EiffelStudio debugger, however it provides simple debugging functionalities without any graphical user interface.

= Limitations =
|
|
* It is not possible to interrupt the execution.
|
|
* The command line debugger is not as rich as the EiffelStudio graphical debugger. As a result you may miss specific functionalities (such as conditional breakpoints, ...) available in the EiffelStudio debugger.
|
|
* The command line debugger is experimental. It would need more enhancement to satisfy advanced debugging needs, however it provides simple (and limited) debugging facilities directly from the command line.
