debugger VS gdbghidra

To debug a notebook, associate it with a kernel that supports debugging and enable the debugger. The official debugger example Python notebook provides a short introduction and is highly recommended!

#284

> "Users can do [mixed mode] debugging with GDB (and/or other debuggers) and log the session in a notebook; in particular in order to teach.*

Your question is specifically about IDEs with support for mixed-mode debugging (with gdb), so I went looking for an answer:

https://wiki.python.org/moin/DebuggingWithGdb (which is not responsive and almost unreadable on a mobile device) links to https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/EasierPythonDebuggin... , which mentions the py-list, py-up and py-down, py-bt, py-print, and py-locals GDB commands that are also described in * https://devguide.python.org/gdb/ **

> https://wiki.python.org/moin/PythonDebuggingTools Ctrl-F "gdb" mentions: DDD, pyclewn (vim), trepan3k (which is gdb-like and supports breaking at c-line and also handles bytecode disassembly)

> Apparently, GHIDRA does not have a debugger but there is a plugin for following along with gdb in ghidra called https://github.com/Comsecuris/gdbghidra [...] * https://github.com/Comsecuris/gdbghidra/blob/master/data/gdb... (zero dependencies)*

> https://reverseengineering.stackexchange.com/questions/1392/... lists a number of GUIs for GDB; including voltronnn:

>> There's Voltron, which is an extensible Python debugger UI that supports LLDB, GDB, VDB, and WinDbg/CDB (via PyKD) and runs on macOS, Linux and Windows. For the first three it supports x86, x86_64, and arm with even arm64 support for lldb while adding even powerpc support for gdb.

I'm new to Ghidra and I'm trying to get the gdbghidra plugin on the last version, but when I go to File>Install Extension, I can't tick the left box as the name is highlighted in red due to it being made for 9.0.1
