- ultramancool 10y agoYeah, I've had decent luck with both Eclipse and Qt Creator's interfaces. There's also excellent debuggers for Python like WinPDB. GDB itself has reverse debugging support which could be integrated into IDEs... https://www.gnu.org/software/gdb/news/reversible.html https://www.gnu.org/software/gdb/news/reversible.html

- protomok 10y agoI recently switched from doing my C/C++ debugging in gdb to Eclipse here are some of my thoughts: -> Eclipse can be easily be started from the command line - e.g. "cdtdebug.sh -e ./a.out". A minimal version of Eclipse opens up, and you can immediately step through code, no need to create projects. -> While GDB TUI mode somewhat mitigates the issue of not having context when debugging it IMHO pales in comparison to seeing the full file in Eclipse. -> In Eclipse I can see so much more information than gdb. I can see several expressions all being updated, memory views, I can highlight expressions in code. With gdb I could only ever see one thing at a time. -> Although GDB has more functionality than Eclipse, I found since I couldn't remember certain GDB commands and so I just didn't use certain features that I find myself constantly using in Eclipse because it's just a click away.
