I'm asking because I've been using gdb for years and I haven't seen anything better than this. It's also free, it's available everywhere on Linux and it just works. True, for GUI users, it may suck. But not because it's a bad debugger, only.. it has no GUI, and third party GUIs are not state-of-art. However to me, lack of GUI is actually an advantage. Br. Waldek

That's exactly what many "ide" designers think, and that is why the "ide"s of linux SUCK so much. They are completely USELESS. An IDE must IMPROVE the command line programs.

Does it do the hard but useful stuff like following the child and parent across process creation?

They are completely USELESS. Why do you rant so much? There are probably many tens of thousands of happy, productive Eclipse and NetBeans users going about their daily business. If my preferred NetBeans based IDE (Sun Studio) was completely useless, I'd be in a bit of a bind. > An IDE must IMPROVE the command line programs. They do that through visualisation and hyper-links. Being able to see more than one view of a call stack, more than one collection of data or the status of multiple threads is where the IDE shines. -- Ian Collins

How good is its macro system? E.g. can you define custom printing functions for key data types? Without this feature, debugging the C portions of a high-level language (where practically all of the data are Lisp_Object or PyObject* or whatever) is a nightmare.

Well... I do sometimes use Eclipse, never used NetBeans though. The first one does suck for the debugging part *IMVHO* but that's just IMO. I like it how it indexes the code though, and how it integrates the plugins for almost everything I can think of. Yet, I prefer pure gdb when it comes to debugging. Br. Waldek

Why I hate gdb?
Let me count the ways:
1) No user interface that is conceived to help the user
debug its program. Obscure commands full of exceptions and
gotchas, and cryptic commands. For instance to get the registers
you write:
info registers
And then you discover that the floating point registers
are missing. How do you print those?
info float
Why "float"? They are registers like any other! But
remember: "Do NOT try to undertand gdb. It has to be
learnt by heart"
I have never figured out how do I print the MMX registers
alone. Apparently is impossible.
The original poster said: "I have never used a debugger".
Gdb couldn't be a worst introduction to a debugger.
2) Commands are difficult to use. Example "disassemble".
When entered, this command doesn't intermix C source code
with the disassembly as almost all other debuggers do.
It will print the whole current function scrolling away
all your context. It will not (as Microsoft debugger does)
give you the symbolic name of addresses, even if it does
know that information since the program was compiled with
debug info.
3) Commands use a special syntax with some commands having
a special "mini language" that you have to know by heart.
x/10i $pc
Clear isn't it? And very easy to remember of course.
4) Not to speak about its completely outdated command line
interface, that forces you to write "list" again and again
to see where you are in the source code. If emacs (another
gnu product) can use termcaps and have a text mode "full
screen" console why gdb can't?
This debugger hasn't improved anything in its user interface
since 1980 more or less. But all people that love GNU love
gdb and I will get flamed endlessly by them for telling that
gdb has no clothes!

That GNU has forgotten what *innovation* and *redesign* mean. It is impossible to criticize anything GNU because of its political goals: either you are FOR us, and then you should swallow our pile of sh$t without any complaints, or you are against us, then you are a micro$oft moron etc. Look how you *avoided* any concrete discussion about the concrete examples I underscored.

And what exactly is the point of repeating 4 different reasons for one simple thing: you hate gdb UI? I really got the message :-) >> All your arguments are actually one argument: you hate it that >> it has no built-in GUI. > > No. It coud have a better command line interface, even if it > doesn't have any GUI. All right then, I must have misunderstood then. You hate the gdb UI, and you'd prefer that it has GUI. [...] > I wrfote just that with examples, and you ignored them. > > Just CUT, of course, no discussion whatsoever. That's because there's nothing to discuss with. I accept it that those are the reasons why *you* hate gdb, while at the same time, this reasons are either meaningless to me, or are actually an advantage. >> You're point being...? > > That GNU has forgotten what *innovation* and *redesign* mean. I might have agreed somewhat with you at that: see gmake development cycle, and yes - that of gdb. One could argue whether that's because of innovation or because of lack of support. But your generalization has proven you wrong, so I say: Yeah, right. Especially the Gnu Compiler Collection, which also has been abandoned since 1990, right? ;) And Gnome, which has never changed since its first release. And all that GPL and LGPL software that Google can display and lots of people use everyday: Audacity, Pidgin, Octave, Blender... no, they don't exist, they must have been my dream. Have a nice day :-) Waldek

Should I understand that: o Linux users are a "show off" kind of people that like to use dangerous things? o Non-linux users (that need antivurus software) are lame people thatare unable to do anything? o Both? o None? And what I understand even less is what that has to do with a debugger discussion? Thanks for enlightening me.
