I found a very nice plugin called gdbvim. Now I can debug my C / C++ code in VIM with its help. The original copy of the plugin can be found at: vimscript #84. See this link for more information about this plugin.

Unfortunately, I can only set breakpoints with this plugin, but I can't clear the breakpoints set before. So I modified the plugin and made "toggle breakpoints" feature possible. Here is my newly patched code. The new gdbvim.vim requires multvars.vim, which can be found at: vimscript #171.

Any comments or suggestions are welcome.

gdbvim.tar.bz2 0.3a 2005-10-27 6.0 Edward Fox This is an Alpha (UNSTABLE) version with some new features added and a few bugs fixed.


New features:

  * (Major) Dumps the breakpoints out to ".gdbvim_breakpoints" when you quit gdbvim, and re-read all the breakpoints when you launch gdbvim the next time.

  * Add "Clear all breakpoints" feature.

  * (Minor) Changed the menu layout. Added "Call stacks" and some other useful menu items.


Bugs fixed:

  * The previous version may fail to clear some breakpoints under some new version of gdb. Because  such gdb may breaks at two or more different addresses in the binary code when you set breakpoint at only one position of the source code.
