6. DDD - The Data Display Debugger
-
DDD is a powerful tool which is a graphical interface for an inferior
debugger (usually gdb). DDD can do everything your favourite debugger can
and much more.
- You can watch the code and execute it line by line
and examine data.
-
The speciality of DDD as its name might suggest is its ability to
display your programs data graphically in a very comfortable manner.
-
DDD will allow you to display structures and dereference pointers to create
a visualization of a linked-list or a tree. DDD can also create graphs out
of arrays.
-
DDD has a gdb command line, so anyone who can use gdb can use DDD and
gradually learn its special features.
-
A little test program: testddd.c.
