Debugging
To support basic debugging capabilities, Miden assembly provides a debug instruction. This instruction prints out the state of the VM at the time when the debug instruction is executed. The instruction can be parameterized as follows:
debug.stackprints out the entire contents of the stack.debug.stack.<n>prints out the top \(n\) items of the stack. \(n\) must be an integer greater than \(0\) and smaller than \(256\).
Debug instructions do not affect the VM state and do not change the program hash.
To make use of the debug instruction, programs must be compiled with an assembler instantiated in the debug mode. Otherwise, the assembler will simply ignore the debug instructions.
