I'm pretty sure VSCode and Goland use Delve, so they won't work if Delve doesn't. With that said, I think gdb works to some extent with Go, and it supports "watchpoints": https://sourceware.org/gdb/current/onlinedocs/gdb/Set-Watchpoints.html#Set-Watchpoints (Note: I haven't tried debugging a go binary with gdb, so I can't do much more than point you at the manual) > > Help > > Stephen Illingworth. > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "golang-nuts" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to golang-nuts+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > To view this discussion on the web visit > https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/golang-nuts/CAPmHGLPa0sgU9NkewBmZKhqVV-fZaaAni8Uaq%2BY_aUQstSEeYA%40mail.gmail.com > <https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/golang-nuts/CAPmHGLPa0sgU9NkewBmZKhqVV-fZaaAni8Uaq%2BY_aUQstSEeYA%40mail.gmail.com?utm_medium=email&utm_source=footer> > . > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
