Re^6: I usually debug via...

I saw screenshots about emacs doing that but did not saw same for vim.

I probably did not searched good enough, but it seems to me that VIM developers do not aim such purposes.

I know implementing debugger is possible, as vim indeed embeds perl and ruby and all that, but I do suspect it is not done, until not convinced otherwise.

Ah, semantics. “Does not allow” is different from “has no plugin” to me, and you were saying the former but meant the latter. You are right about that, then. To my knowledge, there is no debugger plugin for Vim. However, there is a project by the Vim author, called A-A-P, which aims to do the opposite: rather than put an IDE inside Vim, he is working on an IDE (called Agide) which has Vim inside. And that one does have gdb integration. Makeshifts last the longest.	[reply]
