如果今天期望在這場聽到GDB的使用方法，那我可能

讓你失望了!!!I'll make you disappoint,

if you want to learn how to use GDB!!!

I’ll introduce the toolswhich make debug more efficient.

我要說的是，使用友善的工具讓debug更有效率

I love terminal.I program with VIM & GDB.I want to debug in terminal.

If there is a tool to use GNU Debugger with presented

codes at the same time, that will be useful when

debugging.

Just like this ...

Codes

GNU Debugger

Terminal

● https://github.com/larrupingpig/vimgdb-for-vim7.4

● It is a VIM patch that implements gdb support in the vim editor.

● You need to rebuild VIM with this patch, if you want to install it.

vimGdb

clewn

● http://clewn.sourceforge.net/● It implements gdb support in the vim editor.● It is a program controlling vim through the

netBeans socket interface.● Clewn can only be used with “gvim”, not vim.● Clewn, as a standalone process, needs its

own terminal.

pyclewn

● http://pyclewn.sourceforge.net/● pyclewn allows using vim as a front end to a

debugger.● It is like clewn, but is implemented with

python. → cross platform● pyclewn has more gdb features than clewn.

Comparison of clewn, vimGdb and pyclewn

http://pyclewn.sourceforge.net/

However, I want the tool works in terminal without

graphic support. → no gvimBesides, it is complicated to

install vimGdb.

● http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=4582

● GDB command line interface and terminal emulator in (G)Vim.

● https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZcSjaYSoqnc

● It needs GDB 7.0+ and full python 2.7 support.

● It is a “VIM plugin”.

Conque GDB

Considering embedded system development, debugging with cross compile tool-chain is

needed.That will be a problem to Conque GDB.

● https://cgdb.github.io/● cgdb is a lightweight curses (terminal-based)

interface to the GNU Debugger (GDB).● It provides a split screen view that displays

the source code as it executes.● http://tech.mozilla.com.tw/posts/3826/cgdb-

%E6%9B%B4%E5%A5%BD%E7%94%A8%E7%9A%84-gdb

● It is awesome!!!
