A little off topic, but I thought some of you might be interested
in this.
I just recently got ddd-1.2 up and running on my 1.1.5 system. Ddd is
a GPL'd X/Motif based gdb/dbx driver. I usually prefer the good old
emacs-gud method of debugging, but that may change after a few more
ddd sessions! Here's the first few paragraphs of the blurb:
The Data Display Debugger (DDD) is a novel graphical user
interface to GDB and DBX, the popular UNIX debuggers. Besides
``usual'' features such as viewing source texts and breakpoints,
DDD provides a *graphical data display*, where data structures are
displayed as graphs. A simple mouse click dereferences pointers
or views structure contents. Complex data structures can be
explored incrementally and interactively, using automatic layout
if preferred. Each time the program stops, the data display
reflects the current variable values. Using DDD, you can reason
about your application by viewing its data, not just by viewing it
execute lines of source code.
Other DDD features include: debugging of programs written in C,
C++, Pascal, or Modula-2; hypertext source navigation and lookup;
GDB/DBX command-line interface with full editing, history, and
completion capabilities; breakpoint, backtrace, and history
editors; optional program execution in terminal emulator window;
debugging on remote host; on-line manual; interactive help on the
OSF/Motif user interface. DDD has been designed to compete with
well-known commercial debuggers.
You can get the source for ddd at:

I also have diffs that fix a few minor problems for 1.1.5, if
anyone is interested.
