“Basically, rust-gdb is a wrapper that loads external Python pretty-printing scripts into GDB. This is useful (and somewhat necessary) when debugging more complex Rust programs because it significantly improves the display of Rust data types.” (src)
what the developer has to do:
hostnamectl; # tested on
Static hostname: lenovo
Operating System: Debian GNU/Linux 10 (buster)
Kernel: Linux 4.19.0-17-amd64
Architecture: x86-64
setup rust like in this article:
GNU Linux Debian 10 and 11 – how to setup rust compiler (rusct) howto getting started – hello world
# test that paths are working rustc --version rustc 1.53.0 (53cb7b09b 2021-06-17) # create new project with cargo cargo new helloworld cd ./helloworld/src cargo build Finished dev [unoptimized + debuginfo] target(s) in 0.00s cargo run Finished dev [unoptimized + debuginfo] target(s) in 0.00s Running `/home/devrust2/helloworld/target/debug/helloworld` Hello, world! vim main.rs # within vim :packadd termdebug :let termdebugger="rust-gdb" :Termdebug # now this should show up
congrats! ready to debug 🙂
within gdb:
# load the compiled binary with symbols
file ../target/debug/helloworld # then the developer is ready to start start # hurray! :) step debugging works :)

PS: Conque-GDB vim plugin can (probably) enable rust and c++ setp debugging in vim prior to v.8.1 too, but it was not updated since 2016 and throws errors.
