IRB Debug Init + byebug

[jmarrec]

Pull request overview

• Companion PR: Add byebug openstudio-gems#84

• Opening as Draft because I'm not sure this is going to be wanted

This PR does two things:

• When loglevel is Trace, it preloads the IRB code so you can put binding.irb anywhere and it'll work. That includes inside our gem initialization code, but will work in any external script too. This allows you to inspect variables, but you don't have frame execution, because "debug" gem is built shared actually... see Bundled gems by default: debug and rbs aren't built statically jmarrec/conan-recipes#6
• After initialization is done, meaning in an external script for eg, you can require 'byebug' and put byebug and this will allow you to have frame execution, see this example

@jmarrec. This would be very useful for the kind of issues we just worked through with bundler. I'm sure that was part of the inspiration. What would be the downside of merging this? It seems like a win/win.

[jmarrec]

Downsides include:

• people who do ask for trace loglevel get code they don't need (they will not notice and noone asks for trace level output unless they're in trouble so big they wouldn't care), so noop here
• byebug is a new native ext gem

@jmarrec I just made a new release of openstudio-gems on the NREL repo. Would you mind updating the references to point at the NREL release?

[jmarrec]

Will do
