Data Display Debugger

Data Display Debugger (GNU DDD) is a graphical user interface (using the Motif toolkit) for command-line debuggers such as GDB,[2] DBX, JDB, HP Wildebeest Debugger[note 1], XDB, the Perl debugger, the Bash debugger, the Python debugger, and the GNU Make debugger.[4] DDD is part of the GNU Project and distributed as free software under the GNU General Public License.

Technical details

DDD has GUI front-end features such as viewing source texts and its interactive graphical data display, where data structures are displayed as graphs.

A simple mouse click dereferences pointers or views structure contents, updated each time the program stops. Using DDD, you can reason about your application by watching its data, not just by viewing it execute lines of source code.

DDD is used primarily on Unix systems, and its usefulness is complemented by many open source plug-ins available for it.

gollark: Although Discord has giant servers now, so good luck leaving without missing tons of stuff!
gollark: If you want to move off Facebook you'll probably worry about losing contact with 293848 people you don't have anywhere else, if you want to move off Skype you might just have something like 5 people in a group with you.
gollark: It mostly doesn't happen unless the existing stuff is also very bad. I suspect it's also easier for somewhat purpose-specific instant messaging than for general social network stuff because the group which has to move with you is smaller and you don't have to migrate giant friend lists or something.
gollark: Even if better services *do* exist, people generally don't move to something they don't have stuff/people they know on.
gollark: Generally it requires the existing service to be really bad before people start moving.
