Debugging Go (golang) code in Windows

Question

What is the best method of debugging go code in Windows?

https://stackoverflow.com/a/5514122/201618 states the GBD cannot be used as

Windows and ARM binaries do not contain DWARF debugging information and, as such, cannot be inspected with GDB.

https://stackoverflow.com/a/3405768/201618 implies that the best thing to do is just use fmt.Println

Is there a better current option? Is there a better planned future option?

Answer 1

In addition to GDB you can use Zeus . Also, take a look to comparison of IDEs for Google Go .

Answer 2

LiteIDE ( https://github.com/visualfc/liteide ) includes a build of GDB that works on Windows. When I experimented with Goclipse, I was able to point it to that GDB executable and debug applications just fine.

Answer 3

Delve supports windows and can be installed with the following command:

go get github.com/derekparker/delve/cmd/dlv

It has integration with code editors and IDEs such as VS code, Atom and IDEA. No Sublime Text support is available yet though!
