No need to troll. GDB has worked (to a limited degree) on Go binaries for years, but has never really understood some of its features; Delve is a newer debugger that's specifically targeted to Go.
- josteink 10y agoI thought the preferred way of degugging Go code was through LLDB, but that support for this requires a very recent and you may have to build the LLVM toolchain from source, until it gets packaged up in a new release? Are all these debuggers working in parallell on reimplementing the same features? That seems like such a wasted effort.
- zerr 10y agoDo you realize, after the first sentence, you're basically saying the same thing which I've pointed out as an interesting fact?
- dsymonds 10y agoNobody is "struggling" with debugging Go programs in the way you were implying. You seemed to be deliberately trying to antagonise, disguising it behind "Interesting, ...".
- zerr 10y agoYou're overthinking it. Also, "interesting" is most neutral I believe. Alternatives: "fun" - too sarcastic; "sadly" - too dramatic.
