740027567yWhat do you guys use for debugging in vim? Raw GDB? I didn't get ConqueGDB to work properly :/

740027567y@Phippsaurus Oh nice, I didn't know about that since my experiments were before vim 8 came out. Thank you!

endor56667yVisual Studio is nice imo, though it occupies quite a chunk of storage space (~30 GB for a C/C++ installation). Community edition is free.
VS Code is also a good, lightweight alternative -
@Phippsaurus I actually like and use Vim, but not for C++. I find that its code completion and realtime code feedback is rubbish compared to what CLion and Visual Studio can do (especially Visual Studio, it's phenomenal). And in both you can map commands to external tools and have Vim emulation if you really need that. Plus, they both have terrific debugger integration, better than anything else except for VSCode.
Also, I do a ton of GPU programming, and GPU debugging in Visual Studio is really good. NVIDIA Nsight and CUDA toolset integration is painless.
I also find that when one company makes the entire toolset, it's just integrated better. JetBrains tools are prime examples of this.
(I should mention that I have a reasonably powerful machine, performance of VS is not really an issue for me. I've never felt like it slows me down. If you don't, Vim might help you there) -
@Phippsaurus yeah, I think for me now it's mostly about using tools that I'm comfortable with. I'll give Vim for C++ another go in a while, maybe it has improved from the last time I used it.

Hey guys.
Is there any alternative for CLion? I can't use codeblocks since there is no dark theme(sounds silly but I prefer dark theme).
