Integrate with Delve

[jamesblackburn]

This is a feature request.

Debugging via GDB is problematic for a number of well documented reasons. In particular (for me), stepping within GDB is so slow as to be unusable within the IDE.

Intellij's go plugin is using the Delve debugger for Go.

It would be great to have this integrated with Eclipse.

Unfortunately it's too much work to write a custom debugger integration in Eclipse for Delve. However, if Delve emulates the GDB/MI interface (pretents to be GDB, more or less), then there is hope Delve could be used in Eclipse (and other IDEs too). Someone is working on that: https://github.com/debedb/kabuta but I don't know what will come out of it.

How about LLDB, is any better than GDB? There is some work underway to integrate LLDB with Eclipse (also by emulating GDB/MI) : https://wiki.eclipse.org/CDT/User/NewIn91#LLDB_Debugger_integration_.28experimental.29
