debugging from vim (gdb, xdb, idb)

[drososk...@gmail.com]

Dear vimers,
it would be a great relief if somehow I could manage to debug my C++
code using vim. In emacs there is a gdb mode. I googled for gdb and
vim but it was impossible to find something similar.

So, is it possible?

Hello,

You should have a look at pyclewn on sourceforge.

Unfortunately, it only supports gdb -- and I do not have much time to hack in and see how I could you use it with dbx :(

"could use it"

Have you tried it ? Does it work?

My compiler and debugger are not the GNU ones, but the ones from Solaris. I cannot use it (yet?).

AFAIK, clewn/pyclewn are the only attempts to integrate a debugger with Vim.

I use

http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=1929

for PHP debugging (which is what it's designed for). But it implements
the DBGp protocol, so may well work with other debuggers that support
that.

And, I don't believe I'm saying this...I wish I used it more often, as
it worked really nicely! I shouldn't really wish more bugs on myself,
but there you have it!

Of course, to make it really suit your workflow, a bunch of mappings, or
modifying the debugger default ones, is nice.

Grins,

Ben.
