Gdbmgr supports a user-controllable multiple-tiled window interface to gdb, and does not need any external scripting support such as perl or python.  Try out the tutorial -- it contains seven examples with detailed instructions on how to compile the example code, run it, and use gdbmgr with it. Using gdbgmgr is straightforward; you may start gdbmgr up from a running vim or, if you take the suggestion (:help gdbmgr-suggest), then attempting editing a program's binary will bring up gdbmgr with that program loaded.   :DI programname...starts up gdbgmr with the given programname   :DR [args]..............runs the program (with optional arguments)   :DQ........................quit gdbmgr Standard Windows: By default at startup you'll have seven tiled windows in a tab:   Netrw................: useful for bringing source code into the Source window and setting breakpoints and examining variables   Messages........: shows messages issued by gdb   Function Stack..: shows current function stack   Source Window.: shows current source code   Expr..................: enter expressions to be evaluated (ie. shows variable values)   Breakpt.............: shows list of breakpoints   Watchpoint........: shows list of watchpoints Optional Windows: Other available gdbmgr windows include:   BufExplorer..: the buffer explorer shows its output here (see vimscript#42) - thanks to Jeff Lanzarotta for including some interface code!   Commands..: enter commands to gdb via this window.  This window is stacked with the Source Window; ie. when you run your program, the commands window is displayed instead of the Source Window.   Tags............: shows CtagExpl or HdrTag output (tags, hdrtags)   Threads......: shows the results of gdb's \"info threads\" command Foreign Apps:   Gdbmgr provides an interface to various \"foreign apps\"; ie. vimscripts that are external to gdbmgr itself.  Currently, gdbmgr provides interfaces to:   bufexplorer   CtagExpl   Hdrtag   netrw   (built-in interface) Installing gdbmgr: Gdbmgr does not require perl, python, or any other external scripting support.  However, it does need to have forkpty() support compiled in; you can get this by configuring your vim to support perl, python, or modify vim's Makefile with EXTRA_LIBS = -lutil. Read :help gdbmgr-install   for information on how to get your vim configured and compiled for gdbmgr. Read :help gdbmgr-tutorial  to learn many of the details of using gdbmgr.  Examples are included! Supported: stepping - continue examining variable values (with ballooneval, simply point the mouse at the variable name in the source code) breakpoints watchpoints function stack examining core dumps multiple-file source code programs supported See gdbmgr's online documentation and examples at http://www.drchip.org/astronaut/vim/doc/gdbmgr.txt.html . (alpha/beta version available at http://www.drchip.org/astronaut/vim/index.html#GDBMGR)
