This pluging lets you debug your applications with gdb from vim, there is no need to open a gdb instance like other plugins do. Gdbfromvim relies on gdblib which spawns its own gdb instance.
- GdbFromVim requires Vim 7.3+ compiled with Python support.
- Python 2.6+
- Gdblib - https://github.com/skibyte/gdblib
- Gdb with MI support
In order to make easier handling GdbFromVim you might find these mappings handy:
nnoremap <F4> :GdbFromVimRun <CR>
nnoremap <F5> :GdbFromVimStep <CR>
nnoremap <F6> :GdbFromVimNext <CR>
nnoremap <F7> :GdbFromVimAddBreakpoint <CR>
nnoremap <F8> :GdbFromFromDeleteBreakpoint <CR>
nnoremap <F9> :GdbFromVimClear <CR>
This command starts the execution of the program. Arguments can be passed to it.
This commands steps into a function.
This command pass over a function.
This command continues with the execution of the program, this command is also used to start remote debugging.
This command adds a breakpoint in the current line.
This command deletes the breakpoint specified by its number, it requires an argument, For example to delete the breakpoint number 2: GdbFromVimDeleteBreakpoint 2
This command deletes all the breakpoints previously set.
This commands deletes the breakpoint in the current line.
This command prints the value of a variable, it requires an argument, For example: GdbFromVimPrint point->x
This command prints all the breakpoints set in the application, the values are printed in the quickfix list.
Closes the current gdb connection, this command might be used if you want to change the application to debug at runtime.

This command is used to perform remote debugging, it receives as argument the host and its port:
GdbFromVimRemote 127.0.0.1:1234
Adds the symbol file passed as argument to gdb.
let g:gdb_from_vim_app = 'application'
If this variable is not defined GdbFromVim will prompt for user input.
let g:gdb_from_vim_args = 'arguments'
let g:gdb_from_vim_path = '/usr/bin/gdb'
If arguments are passed to GdbFromVimRun the value of this variable are overriden.
