CKB debugger

A standalone debugger enabling off-chain contract development.

Usage

For Rust library usage, refer to the included tests, they are quite self-explanatory.

See the command line help part for usage on the binary debugger:

ckb-debugger 0.116.1

How to Print Debug Message

1. compile the contract via -fno-builtin-printf and replace with CKB_C_STDLIB_PRINTF
2. set RUST_LOG=debug to enable output debug message
