DBG
What is DBG?
DBG is a Go debugger, written primarily in Go. It really needs a new name.

Currently, DBG requires 2 patches to be applied to Go source to build.
Features
- Attach to (trace) a running process
- Set breakpoints
- Single step through a process
- Next through a process (step over / out of subroutines)
- Never retype commands, empty line defaults to previous command

-
break- Set break point at the entry point of a function, or at a specific file/line. Example:break foo.go:13. -
step- Single step through program. -
next- Step over to next source line.
Upcoming features
- Handle Gos multithreaded nature better (follow goroutine accross thread contexts)
- In-scope variable evaluation
- In-scope variable setting
- Readline integration
- Ability to launch debugging session from debugged program, with breakpoint set correctly
- Support for OS X
