Slightly off topic but I think it is a good place to ask:
One of the few things from windows that I miss when using linux is the debugging experience with visual studio (not code). When debugging a medium-sized C++ project on windows, the launch of the debug build is pretty fast and stepping over lines is almost instantaneous. On linux launching the executable using gdb takes like 10 seconds loading modules and stepping over each line takes like half a second which I think is intolerable (lldb is even worse). Yet I don't see people complaining about this online very much. Am I missing something? E.g. is there a compiler flag that speeds up debug launch time and step speed that I am not using?
