Ben Jackson 533b2aa0d5 Very basic support for watch expressions 
You can currently only add them, not remoove them and you have to pass
the expression in the function call, but once added the variable
breakdown works nicely.

vimspector - A multi language debugger for Vim

Status

This is a work in progress. It barely functions.

About

The motivation is that debugging in Vim is a pretty horrible experience, particularly if you use multiple languages. With pyclewn no more and the built-in termdebug plugin limited to gdb, I wanted to explore options.

While Language Server Protocol is well known, the Debug Adapter Protocol is less well known, but achieves a similar goal: language agnostic API abstracting debuggers from clients.

The aim of this project is to provide a simple but effective debugging experience in Vim for multiple languages, by leveraging the debug adapters that are being built for VScode.

The ability to do remote debugging is a must. This is key to my workflow, so baking it in to the debugging experience is a top bill goal for the project.

Features

None yet.

Supported Languages

None yet.

Demo

Well there is a proof of concept, showing some of the features and the use of different debug adapters and languages (c++ and Python):

Yes, it's buggy right now, and the UI is all placeholder, but it shows that there is some potential, I think.
