Why not just run `:term` followed by full gdb? Doesn't seem like it's worth implementing a whole other interface.

- godelski 7y agoThat doesn't enable the same marking of break points and other features you typically get from IDEs. In GDB you can see multiple lines and split your screen, so I wouldn't use :term (I'll split with tmux). But other things that IDE debuggers have are like a file list (nerd tree) and display works better (off to the side). GDB technically has all these things, but it isn't formatted nicely. I use vim to be fast and efficient (and vim plugins for IDEs SUCK, plus are bloated). Do people just not use debuggers around here?
- big_chungus 7y agoFair enough; I do like the visual breakpoint interface. Honestly, that's one thing MSVC does really well: the debugger. Just curious to see why that didn't work for you. I'm assuming it's viable to implement this, I guess no one yet has.
- godelski 7y agoIt looks like there is a debugger in the newest vim. A little playing around with it shows some nice features. Still not quite what I want, but better than nothing.
