3. 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!!!

4. 我要說的是，使用友善的
工具讓debug更有效率
I’ll introduce the tools
which make debug more efficient.

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

6. If there is a tool to use GNU
Debugger with presented
codes at the same time, that
will be useful when
debugging.

7. Just like this ...
Codes
Terminal
GNU Debugger

8. vimGdb
● 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.

9. 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.

10. 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.

11. Comparison of clewn,
vimGdb and pyclewn
http://pyclewn.sourceforge.net/

12. However, I want the tool
works in terminal without
graphic support. → no gvim
Besides, it is complicated to
install vimGdb.

13. Conque GDB
● 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”.

14. Considering embedded
system development,
debugging with cross
compile tool-chain is
needed.
That will be a problem to Conque GDB.

15. cgdb
● 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!!!
