Drgn v0.1 Released For Very Versatile Programmable Debugger

Written by Michael Larabel in Programming on 20 February 2026 at 01:11 PM EST. 14 Comments
Drgn is the programmable debugger developed by Meta engineer Omar Sandoval that has proven quite versatile and popular with Linux kernel developers and others. After nearly two dozen releases already, Drgn v0.1 was released this week as another big step forward for this open-source debugger.

Drgn v0.1 is a "huge release" that brings a crash compatibility mode, built-in commands, memory searching, code address to source location lookups, and other enhancements.

Drgn provides a few built-in commands for running Python code, executing shell commands, or running scripts. Drgn's compatibility mode with the crash utility is a big one with most commands having been ported over.

This Drgn debugger release is also compatible with the recent Linux 6.19 stable release while adding preliminary support for Linux v7.0 Git.
