Put focus on the gdb window to type commands there. Some common ones are:
- CTRL-C interrupt the program
- next execute the current line and stop at the next line
- step execute the current line and stop at the next statement, entering
functions
- finish execute until leaving the current function
- where show the stack
- frame N go to the Nth stack frame
- continue continue execution
- CTRL-C interrupt the program
- next execute the current line and stop at the next line
- step execute the current line and stop at the next statement,
entering functions
- finish execute until leaving the current function
- where show the stack
- frame N go to the Nth stack frame
- continue continue execution
In the window showing the source code some commands can used to control gdb:
:Break set a breakpoint at the current line; a sign will be displayed
:Delete delete a breakpoint at the current line
:Step execute the gdb "step" command
:Over execute the gdb "next" command (:Next is a Vim command)
:Finish execute the gdb "finish" command
:Continue execute the gdb "continue" command
In the window showing the source code these commands can used to control gdb:
:Run [args] run the program with [args] or the previous arguments
:Arguments {args} set arguments for the next :Run
:Break set a breakpoint at the current line; a sign will be displayed
:Delete delete a breakpoint at the current line
:Step execute the gdb "step" command
:Over execute the gdb "next" command (:Next is a Vim command)
:Finish execute the gdb "finish" command
:Continue execute the gdb "continue" command
:Stop interrupt the program
The plugin adds a window toolbar with these entries:
Step :Step
Next :Over
Finish :Finish
Cont :Continue
Eval :Evaluate
Step :Step
Next :Over
Finish :Finish
Cont :Continue
Stop :Stop
Eval :Evaluate
This way you can use the mouse to perform the most common commands.
