I'm not really sure, seems like the docs are duplicated? I can find this section in two different places. |

There was a problem hiding this comment.
This is a good note to have, especially since we're looking to eventually wanting to expand debugging in the Book.

Hi, I just spent a few hours trying to figure out why I can't see any variables while debugging.
Turns out that enabling cranelift, as explained in fast-compiles, may improve compile times, but also breaks variable inspection.
There is even an issue open:
bevyengine/bevy#19916
Therefore, it really should be documented that this has negative downsides, so other people won't run into the same issue.
This closes bevyengine/bevy#19916
