Is there a C++ gdb GUI for Linux? [closed]

Answer 1

Similar comfortable to the eclipse gdb frontend is the emacs frontend, tightly tied to the emacs IDE. If you already work with emacs, you will like it:

GDB Emacs Frontend

Answer 2

Have you tried gdb -w with cygwin gdb. It is supossed to have a windows interface which works fairly well.

The only problem I found is that on my present machine it didn't run that way until after I installed ffffd. I suspect that it requires tcltk which was installed when I installed ffffd.

Answer 3

Use www.zero-bugs.com/ Zero debugger, it requires C++0x support from gcc

Answer 4

I was searching for a debugger to step through a running programm. Say: Attach. The programm was build with eclipse, but because of maybe some multithreadding obstrucles, no sourcefiles where fond. What ever.

I got very compfortable with NetBeans.

• [debug] from menu -> Attach Deugger...
• as process chose the one to debug
• as project [new project]

Now the window disappars and you see nothing. detach from the process. The Read Square "Stop" helps.

• import source from the project as e.g. folder. ".../MyProject/src
• Now it appears in your project, and you can set breakpoints.
• again ttach debugger
• chose the process to debug.
• debugger should stop if programm reaches next breakpoint.

Going to [window] -> [Debugging] -> Will your window make compfortable.

Answer 5

I use DDD a lot, and it's pretty powerful once you learn to use it. One thing I would say is don't use it over X over the WAN because it seems to do a lot of unnecessary screen updates.

Also, if you're not mated to GDB and don't mind ponying up a little cash, then I would try TotalView. It has a bit of a steep learning curve (it could definitely be more intuitive), but it's the best C++ debugger I've ever used on any platform and can be extended to introspect your objects in custom ways (thus allowing you to view an STL list as an actual list of objects, and not a bunch of confusing internal data members, etc.)

Answer 6

I used KDbg (only works under KDE).
