Zhiyang Chen describes his experience building (in conjunction with paper co-authors Ye Yu, Zhengfan Li and Jingbang Wu) an interactive kernel debugger for the rCore Rust kernel. The debugger is implemented as a VSCode front-end plugin against the GDB back-end, targeted at the web version of VSCode (but also running on desktop). The debugger provides the full capabilities of GDB for both user and kernel code, with the convenience of the VSCode interface.
