A vim plugin for integration with Delve debugger for Go

dlvim — vim wrapper for delve

dlvim is a wrapper for delve (AKA dlv) debugger for Go.

dlvim's Issues

Run dlv server from vim instead of proxy

Interactive programs can't be debugged when dlv is a child of non-interactive proxy process. Dlv server should be run from vim in a separate terminal buffer, like the dlv client. Detection of the dlv server readiness from vim may be tricky though.

Implement object inspection

Implement :DlvimPrint command which evaluates the expression under the cursor and prints the result in the object inspection buffer.

Clear signs on timeout

Clearing signs before next/step commands and setting them back on the command response triggers unnecessary rendering in vim which causes flickering. It may be avoided if the proxy sent "clear signs" event when the command takes longer than, say, 50 milliseconds.

Handle binary sequences in variable values

Attempting to print string variable value before it's initialization results in an invalid JSON string from dlv server containing binary sequences like \307\200 etc. Should cope with such strings

Do not rely on the presense of dlv client terminal buffer

Should probably use code window for storing all the sesion-local variables instead of dlv client terminal buffer

Get rid of jsonstreamer

It introduces an extra dependency from a C library and seems buggy and poorly supported

Implement stack walking

• Keep current frame information in the proxy
• Mark the current frame in the stack buffer in vim with a sign
• Implement :DlvimUp and :DlvimDown commands which change the current frame and follow the current instruction on the current stack frame
