When using gdb and Vim, often I want to stop on a particular line.

  • 0

When using gdb and Vim, often I want to stop on a particular line. Normally in Vim I copy-paste the line number showing on the rule area to the gdb session. It’d save me a lot of hassle if I could use something like '+<magic-incantation> to copy the line number of the current cursor position into the xclipboard buffer. Is this possible?

    put this in your vimrc

    map ,n <Esc>:let @*=line('.')<CR> 

    then using ,n will copy the current line number into the clipboard
