Byebug as a C-extension

Byebug is a gem developed as a C-extension. The debugger internal's functionality is implemented in C (the interaction with the TracePoint API). The rest of the gem is implemented in Ruby. Normally you won't need to touch the C-extension, but it will obviously depended on the bug you're trying to fix or the feature you are willing to add. You can learn more about C-extensions here or here.
