Top 6 C++ GDB Projects

  • rr

    Record and Replay Framework

    • Project mention: GTFL – A Graphical Terminal for Common Lisp | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-05-27

    This was because no matter how hard I tried, I kept running into variables that I was watching that appeared to be the same reference, have different values (so I know I was referring to something wrong, but could not for the life of me figure it out, and though if I only had a way to step/trace and do this visually like an AST that highlights changed values and you could see back to its root where it's actually being modified visually)

    I found out there's a thing called "deterministic debugging" (and the biggest known example afaict is rr: https://rr-project.org/

    Apparently MS has a time-travel debugger... I pictured the AST being populated and repopulated via the steps, and the ability to diff changes over time.

    Here's a wiki on various systems, though most of these seem to be typical text based "trace" options.

  • seer

    Seer - a gui frontend to gdb

    • Project mention: Beej's Quick Guide to GDB (2009) | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-11-05

    CLion uses lldb.

    I wrote https://github.com/daym/idea-native2-debugger as a stop-gap. It uses gdb and works in IntelliJ IDEA Community edition. Setting it up the first time is kinda weird since you need to add a new run/debug configuration "Native2Debugger". I could not figure out how to hook this directly into the existing run configuration that you use to run your program to begin with. Otherwise, I like how it turned out.

    If you want a standalone frontend, https://github.com/epasveer/seer is extremely good.

    And emacs has gdb integration. By now I tried it, and... I guess it's better than nothing.
