Documentation is required for gdb unlike eclipse and could be better but once you find the commands you need it is actually more capable than eclipse.

But for deep dives i like to have more control, for that i use pure gdb + voltron [0]. And gdb has an understanding of structs and the local stack as long as nothing is thrashed to much. Look at the print command. But on OpenBSD you might want to install the gdb from the packages, because the gdb in base lacks a lot of features when it comes to convenience and hand holding. The gdb from packages is then called egdb. [0] https://github.com/snare/voltron BR

Graphical debugger for C/C++ ?
Just looking at writing a small enhancement to dhcpd, and starting to use gdb properly for the first time. OK, it is functional, but it's a bit awkward compared to graphical alternatives. What does everyone use? I can see ddd and eclipse exist at least. Typically I've used windbg on Windows (and historically various others such as Watcom). I don't have an issue typing in commands, but a constant display of source and local/global variables would be terribly useful. Ideally plus an arbitrary memory display, and some understanding of C/C++ structures. PK
