Debugging sucks. After implanting the new memory manager into the interpreter nothing worked at first. And after over a week spent on debugging, it is still not working. But yesterday I had a good run and slayed over half a dozen bugs. Feels good.
This is my crash course in GDB. I used GDB before occasionally, but I was always starting from zero because I use it so infrequently. This time around there are so many bugs to hunt down that I really need to use a lot of GDB's capabilities and I need to use it for a while! That's how you learn a tool really well.
