GDB Vim Frontend

Warning: Under development. Development currently stalled due to issues with Vim.

This plugin provides GDB debugger integration for Vim ([demo gif]) featuring:

Elaborate view of debugger state
Event-based, non-blocking UI
Jump to code from Backtrace or Threads windows
Define commands to replay when switching between modes (code <-> debug)

This plugin takes advantage of Vim's job API.

Prerequisites

Vim 8.0+ (for +channel and +job support)
GDB 7.7+
Pygdbmi

Installation

Using a plugin manager such as vim-plug:
```
    Plug 'dbgx/gdb.vim'
```
Alternatively, clone this repo, and add the following line to your vimrc:
```
    set rtp+=/path/to/gdb.vim
```

Goals

The plugin is being developed keeping 3 broad goals in mind:

Ease of use: Users with almost zero knowledge of command line debuggers should feel comfortable using this plugin.
Completeness: Experienced users of GDB should not feel restricted.
Customizability: Users should be able to bend this plugin to their needs.
