Overview

Taken from the neovim: neovim_gdb.vim

It is instantly usable: type <leader>dd, edit GDB launching command, hit <cr>. Or type <leader>dl to do the same with LLDB backend.

Installation

If you use vim-plug, add the following line to your vimrc file:

Plug 'sakhnik/nvim-gdb'

Or use any other plugin manager:

• vundle
• neobundle
• pathogen

Options

To disable the plugin

let g:loaded_nvimgdb = 1

Usage

See :help nvimgdb for the complete online documentation. Most notable commands:

Development

The goal is to have a thin wrapper around GDB and LLDB, just like the official TUI. NeoVim will enhance debugging with syntax highlighting and source code navigation.
