Ah, I remember ddd from decades back. It always seemed about 70%
finished.
Is it still a thing?
... there appears to be a Gentoo ebuild:
# emerge --search ddd

However, it looks like 3.3.12 was released 10 almost years ago.
The TCL/Tk based GUI that sort of "came with" gdb for a while about
10-15 years ago wasn't too bad (can't remember it's name). But, for
the most part I prefer the gdb command line -- though I sometimes use
gdb-mode in emacs.
Most of the embedded stuff I work on isn't amenable to interactive
breakpoint/step/examine/resume type debugging anyway. Milliseconds
after you hit a breakpoint, all sorts of hardware and protocols will
start to timeout, overflow, underflow, and generaly get upset. Once
you stop, you can't expect to step/resume and get useful behavior.
Non-embedded stuff I do in Python, and don't need a debugger. ;)
