gdb has allowed you to change runtime variable values for the couple of decades that I've been using it.

e.g. "set var i=10" ?

Or are you talking about something else?




It's very limited, and doesn't work for things like constants that might be compiled straight into the code. By contrast, a true hot-reload can swap out the actual code at runtime.
