Just about every debugger available in linux is based on gdb in some shape
or form. While it is a C debugger,
valac is very clever and uses the #line directives to mark the functions in
the vala sources, not the C sources.

It does require that you pass the "-g"  option to valac when compiling. (-g
enables debuggin symbols in the executable)
Then you can run gdb ./path/to/exec  and it will pring the relevant sources.
