Allow setting debug mode via CLI

[hackaugusto]

Task

Add a flag to the run command which enables the assembler debug mode.

We already debug mode in CLI (see here). Or did you mean something else?

[hackaugusto]

Yeah, I was thinking of the run command and getting the debug.stack working for it.

[bobbinth]

Ah - I missed that this was specifically for the run command. Yes, I think adding something like --debug is a good idea (would be similar to --tracing flag that we already have).

Would this --debug argument be passed into the command like this after building?

./target/optimized/miden run -a miden/examples/nprime/nprime.masm --debug

Why not just do this?

./target/optimized/miden debug -a miden/examples/nprime/nprime.masm

This seems to already support debug.stack
An example would help potentially.

Yes, that's how I was thinking it would work.

./target/optimized/miden debug -a miden/examples/nprime/nprime.masm

This command would start an interactive debugger and then the user would be able to step through the execution. The two approaches are similar but the interactive debugger is quite a bit heavier and may not be needed in all cases.
