With the introduction of debugging tools, software developers were empowered to interactively investigate the control flow of software programs to find bugs in live environments. At JetBrains, we've a
I mean that in running it, it is by basic definition compiling what it is running into machine language. So no, code is most certainly not already compiled into machine language as I’m writing or reviewing it.
By necessity, when you’re in the debugger your code has already been compiled either way, no? Or am I missing something here?
This isn’t executing your code as you’re writing it (though it does support Edit & Continue), this is preemptively executing the next lines in your code when you’re already paused in the debugger - which means it’s been compiled and already running.
you’re misunderstanding. this is a function of the debugger. Your code has already been compiled and is currently running if you are using this feature.

You question doesn’t make much sense to me.
