Vim Breakpoint

Vim 8.1

Vim 8.1 changed the output of sign listings, v8.1 solves this program.

Vim breakpoint is a plugin for easily placing breakpoints from inside Vim.

It saves and reads breakpoints from $FILEPATH/.$FILENAME_breakpoints.

Currently it only supports GDB style breakpoints, but this could easily be extended if I could be bothered.

Currently doesn't delete breakpoint even if line is deleted. This is however not a large problem, since it is still apparent where the breakpoints are.

  1 #include <stdio.h>
  2 #include <string.h>
  3 
  4 int main() {
  5     printf("%i\n", strcmp("Hello", "Hello"));
* 6     printf("%i\n", strcmp("hello", "Hello"));
  7     printf("%i\n", strcmp("Nothing", "Hello"));
  8 }

Installation

Since a few versions back this plugin requires Vim 8. The old version which still works with Vim 7 is available under the tag v7.

If using vim-plugged then the following can be put in your vimrc to automatically get the correct version:

if version >= 800 |Plug 'HugoNikanor/vim-breakpoint'
else              |Plug 'HugoNikanor/vim-breakpoint', {'tag': 'v7'}

Usage

The breakpoints save to file whenever you save a file with breakpoints in it, and also automatically loads a breakpoint file if there is any.

For full usage documentation see :help breakpoint

The plugin doesn't bind any keys by itself, so that's up to the user. I would recommend having the following in your vimrc after loading the plugin:

nmap <leader>a <Plug>BreakpointToggle
