Title: DDD---A Free Graphical Front-End for UNIX Debuggers
Author: Andreas Zeller and Dorothea Ltkehaus
Abstract: DDD survey
The Data Display Debugger (DDD) is a novel graphical user interface to GDB
and DBX, the popular UNIX debuggers. Besides ``usual'' features such as
viewing source texts and breakpoints, DDD provides a graphical data display,
where data structures are displayed as graphs. A sim ple mouse click
dereferences pointers or reveals structure contents. Complex data structures
can be explored incrementally and interactively, using automatic layout if
preferred. Each time the program stops, the data display reflects the
current variable values. DDD has been designed to compete with wellknown
commercial debuggers; however, it is free software, protected by the GNU
general public license. In this paper, we give a quick presentation of DDD
and describe its architecture and basic functionality from a technical point
of view.
