About:
Delve is a feature-rich debugger for Go programs, providing a command-line interface and integration with popular IDEs. It allows developers to step through code, inspect variables, set breakpoints, and analyze goroutines and memory. Its primary value is enabling efficient debugging of complex concurrent Go applications.
Key Features:
  • Command-line debugging interface (dlv)
  • Full support for Go's concurrency model (goroutines)
  • Remote debugging capabilities
  • Integration with VS Code, GoLand, and other editors
  • Core dump inspection and post-mortem analysis
Use Cases:
  • Interactive debugging of local Go applications during development
  • Troubleshooting production issues by attaching to or analyzing core dumps from remote services
Alternatives:
  • gdb – The GNU Debugger can debug Go binaries but has limited understanding of Go-specific types and goroutines compared to Delve's native support.
