WinGDB

WinGDB is a handy tool for anyone using Microsoft Visual Studio to build applications. It helps you bring in the power of GNU tools right into your workflow. This lightweight extension makes it easier to develop your utilities using the GNU toolchain.

Debugging Made Easy

The main star of WinGDB is its debugging feature that uses GDB. This allows you to tackle various scenarios like:

• Windows applications created in MinGW/Cygwin environments


• Native Linux/Solaris applications


• Embedded Linux systems


• Linux-based mobile devices or embedded bare-metal devices with OpenOCD

Project Management Boost

With WinGDB, managing your projects gets a lot simpler. You can easily import existing source codes into your Visual Studio projects and set everything up with a dedicated configurator. Plus, there's a scripted build file generator and a GCC switch editor to help you out.

Remote Development Features

If you’re into remote development, this extension has got your back! You can browse source code remotely via SCP/SFTP protocols. Editing source files and running commands on remote machines is also super easy, plus you can map local directories to their remote counterparts.

Integrate with Other Tools

You can integrate WinGDB’s features with other language services like CMake too! Enjoy syntax highlighting and cool features like IntelliSense or Go to definition. There are even several project templates available for CMake.

Flexible Debugging Options

This extension doesn’t skimp on flexibility when it comes to debugging! It offers tools for:

• Launching processes


• Examining core dumps


• Add custom breakpoints and initialization scripts, among many others!
