You got a point, it's a bit paradoxical, but I don't know any good alternatives
and I don't want to advise someone with something that I don't be familiar with.
But, in the future, if someone wants to add alternatives it will be good.

It can be use as a wrapper for the following debugger:
Linux: GDB
macOS: LLDB or GDB
Windows: the Visual Studio Windows Debugger or GDB (using Cygwin or MinGW)

Thanks for your reviewing.

about the script.
