About

Plugin enables debugging in Geany. Currently supports GDB only, but was developed with multiple debuggers support in mind, so the other backends support is planned as well.

Features

• Debugger panel
• Setting target, environment variables and command line arguments
• Breakpoints
• Watches, autos
• Debug terminal
• Debugger messages window
• Threads and stack info
• Switching frames in the stack trace window
• Variables calltips while debugging
• Saving debug session data in a Geany project (can be switched through settings)
• Double or single panel modes
• Hotkeys

Usage

Debugger panel behaves in a way similar to other IDE, so an experienced user won't have problems using it.

Panel space can be divided into two notebooks by pressing a button on the right of a panel.

Debug control buttons also reside on the right end of a panel as well as plugin settings dialog button. A user can also control debug process using hotkeys that are configurable through Geany hotkeys dialog.

When exploring children of a watch or an auto variable user can double click any of them to create a distinct watch item containing the corresponding expression.

Requirements

• Geany >= 0.21
• GTK 2
• POSIX API
