  > "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.

• Possibly a dumb question, but is it possible to install a plugin made for an older version of Ghidra on a newer version?

  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
