A very good open source debugger, can be run on various platforms, and supports debugging many programming platforms.
- One of the best open source debuggers that are suitable for debugging a code base written in C/C++, Java, Fortran, etc., on a lot of platforms, including Linux. - It has the feature of debugging the Operating System kernel code base, which is not possible on other debuggers. - It can also be used to debug code base or executables on a remote machine. - It can be very easily scripted to automate the debug process and gather debug information, which can prove to be quite handy - It can be used to examine memory footprint and can be used to change variable values during the debug process itself.

Overview

GDB, the GNU Project debugger, allows you to see what is going on `inside' another program while it executes -- or what another program was doing at the moment it crashed.
GNU DDD - (Data Display Debugger) is a graphical front-end for command-line debuggers such as GDB, DBX, WDB, Ladebug, JDB, XDB, the Perl debugger, the bash debugger bashdb, the GNU Make debugger remake, or the Python debugger pydb. Besides "usual" front-end features such as viewing source texts, DDD has become famous through its interactive graphical data display, where data structures are displayed as graphs.
