Clewn is a software application that manages Vim by using a NetBeans interface. It's a self-contained program that simplifies Vim commands within a user-friendly environment.
One option is to use Clewn itself, which runs concurrently with Vim, talks to it, and controls it through the NetBeans socket interface. Clewn is an independent process and requires its own terminal. The other option is through vimGdb, which is a patch implemented as a Vim optional feature. Although vimGdb does not require a separate terminal, it requires a different patch to be applied to each new version of the Vim editor.
Despite the differences in usage, both alternatives offer the same base source code to interface with gdb, making Clewn and vimGdb equally reliable for controlling Vim. With its ability to provide robust gdb support in Vim, Clewn is an excellent choice for anyone who needs to debug and test their software programs accurately.
