WebAssembly Debugging

WebAssembly (Wasm) is a low-level binary instruction format. It was originally created to run in the browser, but has gained traction in many non-browser environments as well. Debugging WebAssembly applications presents unique challenges compared to traditional native code debugging. Unlike native executables that run directly on the processor, WebAssembly code executes within a virtual machine that abstracts away the underlying hardware. This abstraction, while providing portability and security benefits, complicates the debugging process because debuggers cannot rely on standard debugging techniques....
