[ale] Re: Graphical Debug interface

[Bob Toxen]

Yes, I found DDD to be FANTASTIC!  I consider it to be the best use of a
GUI interface that I have ever seen and the best debugger that I've ever
used (and I've used a lot).

It is a source debugger that allows breakpoints but also allows setting
breakpoints when a memory location is read or written

It allows one to display the Real-time values of multiple variables and
linked items (lists, trees, etc) while you step through the program.
You can click on the value of a pointer and it will expand the link and
graphically show the object that it points to.

It can be compiled for almost any version and distribution of Linux.
It's a must for anyone debugging c or c++ (and assembly and other
compiled languages too).
