| Summary : Curses-based frontend for GDB
|
Description :
CGDB is a curses-based interface to the GNU Debugger (GDB). The goal
of CGDB is to be lightweight and responsive; not encumbered with
unnecessary features.
The interface is designed to deliver the familiar GDB text interface,
with a split screen showing the source as it executes. The UI is
modeled on the classic Unix text editor, vi. Those familiar with vi
should feel right at home using CGDB.
The library responsible for communicating with GDB is called Trivial
GDB (tgdb, or more accurately, libtgdb). This abstraction allows the
UI code to be independent of the debugger, as well as greatly
simplifying its implementation.
Those wanting to develop other interfaces to GDB are welcome to use
libtgdb as the basis for their program. Many of the headaches of
parsing GDB\'s output and annotations can be avoided by using it.
Some features offered by CGDB are:
- Syntax-highlighted source window
- Visual breakpoint setting
- Keyboard shortcuts for common functions
- Searching source window (using regexp)
