Switching from gdb to delve

[christian...@googlemail.com]

Is it planed in future to switch from gdb to delve? https://github.com/derekparker/delve

This is project to overcome the shortcomings of debugging with gdb. gdb for example has a lot of trouble with defer statements and go routines etc. 

I know delve is a very early project but I find it really promising. On the other hand it does not work on windows. But since gdb does also not work maybe this is a good start?

Unfortunately there are no plans to support Delve. It's a massive task (and specific to Go), and I won't have time for it.

Even GDB support wasn't written by me, I just reused CDT's integration.

Hi all

This thread came up in my search, as I use GoClipse and wanted to try Delve. Not sure if things changed but if the below is still relevant, I thought an exercise may be to write a little middleware that appears to be "gdb" (speaks GDB/MI2 to the frontend), but uses Delve on the backend: https://github.com/debedb/kabuta. This is only in initial changes, though...

Sounds interesting, let us know how it goes.
