I was looking a bit in gdb frontende recently but still think it would be cool to have a chrome debug protocol adapter for gdb. Or is there something like this?

I'm not familiar with chrome debug protocol adaptor, I kind of assume it is not the same thing as https://microsoft.github.io/debug-adapter-protocol/

In the case that it is, I noticed that tromey had posted some patches for an initial implementation of MS-DAP to the gdb-patches list not too long ago.

Or a decent quality vim/nvim interface to GDB.

Yeah there's gdbserver which allows you to connect to GDB over TCP and run commands. You can use the GDB/MI command syntax which gives machine readable output.

Then Microsoft provides an adapter to convert GDB/MI to their standard Debug Adapter Protocol. I think their adapter is unfortunately closed source but there appears to be a third party open source one too.

Here: https://github.com/Marus/cortex-debug/blob/master/src/gdb.ts...

Though I'm not 100% sure it is using the DAP.

Something like gdbgui? Though it’s browser based, not limited to Chrome.
