  • I can't stand using VSCode so I wrote my own (it wasn't easy)
    10 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 21 Apr 2024
    It's not ideal to me yet. I've had some problems with DAP. The DAP servers I've checked were a bit unstable and slow. For now I'm using gdb with nvim-gdb https://github.com/sakhnik/nvim-gdb

    Very reliable and as fast as gdb is. But with all the problems just using gdb has.

  • Debugging in neovim

    Maybe https://github.com/sakhnik/nvim-gdb (bashdb uses gdb like commands) I've mostly used llvm debugger and node debugger so I am not too familiar with gdb.
  • I must be missing something

    nvim-gdb: GDB wrapper, simple and easy to hack.
  • Create visual interface for breakpoints
    2 projects | /r/vim | 19 Aug 2022
    Recently I am using nvim-gdb, which is inspired by neovim-gdb.vim script. I am wondering whether it is possible to have the same visual interface in terms of current line running as well as the breakpoint mark similar to the above two project but not connect to the debug?
  • Debugging in Neovim
    5 projects | /r/neovim | 18 Jul 2022
    There's the plugin that evolved from the original neovim debugger: sakhnik/nvim-gdb. Well tested and maintained. Spoiler: personal affiliation.
  • Debugger plugins
    3 projects | /r/neovim | 19 Mar 2021
    sakhnik/nvim-gdb This one also looks like a nice debugger plugin; also neovim only.
  • GDB TUI mode
    5 projects | /r/cpp | 27 Feb 2021
    https://www.dannyadam.com/blog/2019/05/debugging-in-vim/ describes it well. https://github.com/sakhnik/nvim-gdb is nicer, but requires neovim.

  • The Fuzzing Book

  • Property-Based Testing for the People

    Right, metamorphic testing in particular (which would be a special case of PBT, with metamorphic relations being properties), https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metamorphic_testing, https://github.com/MattPD/cpplinks/blob/master/testing.md#pr...

    One simple example (from the above) is "sin (π − x) = sin x" for the implementation of the sine function not requiring the knowledge of the output values. Naturally, instead of literal equality "=" one can use a more appropriate accuracy specification as a, say, relative ulp (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit_in_the_last_place) error bound, cf. https://members.loria.fr/PZimmermann/papers/accuracy.pdf
