Research direction
Start by running the reported Ruby 3.3.0 reproduction with the debug gem and stopping at binding.break, then inspect how evaluating result writes large objects to STDOUT. Done should provide a pagination or offset mechanism by default so large objects can be inspected without printing everything at once.

Description
Your environment
ruby -v: 3.3.0rdbg -v: 1.9.1
Describe the bug
Hi, I'm not sure if this is a bug or a request for an additional feature (or if there is already a way to circumvent it), but when I try to print large objects to STDOUT during the debug session, it takes ages to do so because it tries to puts everything to the screen I believe.
To Reproduce
require 'debug'
def dummy_embeddings
arr = []
1536.times do
arr << 0.012312321312321
end
arr
end
result = []
1000.times do
result << {
a: 1,
b: 2,
dummy_embeddings: dummy_embeddings
}
end
binding.break
# result
Expected behavior
Other debuggers add some kind of offest/"pagination" by default, when printing large objects. It would be great if this gem could do that too.
