List of debugger front-ends

• Many Eclipse perspectives, e.g. the Java Development Tools (JDT),^[5] provide a debugger front-end.
• Allinea DDT - a graphical debugger supporting for parallel/multi-process and multithreaded applications, for C++/C++ and F90.
• DDD is the standard front-end from the GNU Project. It is a complex tool that works with most common debuggers (GDB, jdb, Python debugger, Perl debugger, Tcl, and others) natively or with some external programs (for PHP).
• GDB (the GNU debugger) GUI
  • Affinic Debugger GUI — A GDB Frontend on Linux/Windows/OSX/Cygwin.
  • Emacs — Emacs editor with built-in support for the GNU Debugger acts as the frontend.
  • KDbg — Part of the KDE development tools.
  • Nemiver — A GDB frontend that integrates well in the GNOME desktop environment.
  • xxgdb — X-window frontend for GDB and dbx debugger.
  • Qt Creator — multi-platform frontend for GDB, CDB and LLDB.
  • So-ADE Debugger^[6] - A plugin for Qt Creator with enhanced debugging feature in the area of Pretty Printing user data.
  • cgdb^[7] — ncurses terminal program that mimics vim key mapping.
  • ccdebug^[8] — A graphical GDB frontend using the Qt toolkit.
  • Padb — has a parallel front-end to GDB allowing it to target parallel applications.
  • Allinea's DDT — a parallel and distributed front-end to a modified version of GDB.
  • Xcode — contains a GDB front-end as well.
  • SlickEdit — contains a GDB front-end as well.
  • Eclipse C/C++ Development Tools (CDT)^[9] — includes visual debugging tools based on GDB.
  • CodeLite — An open source, cross platform C/C++ IDE which have front end for gdb, the next version of CodeLite (v6.0) will also include a front end to the LLDB (debugger)
  • CodeBlocks — A free cross-platform C, C++ and Fortran IDE with a front end for gdb.
