Vim Breakpoint
Vim 8.1
Vim 8.1 changed the output of sign listings, v8.1 solves this program.
Vim breakpoint is a plugin for easily placing breakpoints from inside Vim.
It saves and reads breakpoints from $FILEPATH/.$FILENAME_breakpoints.
Currently it only supports GDB style breakpoints, but this could easily be extended if I could be bothered.
Currently doesn't delete breakpoint even if line is deleted. This is however not a large problem, since it is still apparent where the breakpoints are.

* 6 printf("%i\n", strcmp("hello", "Hello"));
7 printf("%i\n", strcmp("Nothing", "Hello"));

Installation
Since a few versions back this plugin requires Vim 8.
The old version which still works with Vim 7 is available
under the tag v7.
If using vim-plugged then the following can be put in
your vimrc to automatically get the correct version:
if version >= 800 |Plug 'HugoNikanor/vim-breakpoint'
else |Plug 'HugoNikanor/vim-breakpoint', {'tag': 'v7'}
Usage
The breakpoints save to file whenever you save a file with breakpoints in it, and also automatically loads a breakpoint file if there is any.
For full usage documentation see :help breakpoint
The plugin doesn't bind any keys by itself, so that's up to the user. I would recommend having the following in your vimrc after loading the plugin:
nmap <leader>a <Plug>BreakpointToggle
