Easily navigate between [gdb](https://www.gnu.org/savannah-checkouts/gnu/gdb/index.html) breakpoints leveraging vim's native quickfix and tag lists. This plugin should be universal, as long as the target language is supported by both [gdb](https://www.gnu.org/savannah-checkouts/gnu/gdb/index.html) and [ctags](https://github.com/universal-ctags/ctags).\n\n\u003cimg width=\"1438\" height=\"868\" alt=\"image\" src=\"https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/65a31c65-cc14-458b-a8b9-9e7d59432888\" /\u003e\n\n*****\n\n### Usage\nThere is kind of an assumption you know how both the quickfix list and taglists already work when using this plugin. That being said this basic plugin provides two commands:\n\n##### Creating tagfile\n```\n:Mktags\n```\n- Is a simple wrapper which invokes ctags with the necessary arguments for this plugin to function as intended.\n\n##### Reading breakpoints\n```\n:ReadBreakpoints \u003cfilename\u003e\n```\n- Is a command which will read the breakpoints from the provided file into the quickfix list.\n\nThe breakpoints file is a pre-requisite for running this command. It can be generated within [gdb](https://www.gnu.org/savannah-checkouts/gnu/gdb/index.html) by running the following command:\n```\n(gdb) save breakpoints \u003cfilename\u003e\n```\n\n##### Writing breakpoints\n```\n:WriteBreakpoint \u003cfilename\u003e\n```\n- Is a command which will write the line under the cursor as a breakpoint to the specified file.\n\nThe breakpoints file can be either sourced or re-sourced within [gdb](https://www.gnu.org/savannah-checkouts/gnu/gdb/index.html) after running this command. This can be done by running the following command:\n```\n(gdb) source \u003cfilename\u003e\n```\n\nAfter running `ReadBreakpoints` you can use the quickfix list as you traditionally would to navigate between breakpoints.\n- `cnext`\n- `cprev`\n- `copen` (or `cope` if ur based lol)\n\nIt will come intuitively if you are already good with the quickfix list.\n\n### Why\nIt is a subtle but nice thing to have as somebody who spends an enormous amount of time going back and fourth between **vim** and **gdb** during remote work I do through ssh.\n\nThe primary reason I write this in **vimscript** and not **lua** is so that it has backwards compatability with vim and older versions when you don't want to be arbitrarily installing editors on other servers *(I'm looking at you neovim elitists)*.\n\n### Todo\n- Potentially support a configurable default `breakpoints.txt` that is selected implicitly when no argument is provided.\n- Tests.\n- Other ideas are welcome as well.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Falexsutila%2Fbreakqf.vim","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Falexsutila%2Fbreakqf.vim","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Falexsutila%2Fbreakqf.vim/lists"}
