frontend debugger?

[desktop]

Can anyone recommend a good frontend C++ debugger for linux?

I could be nice if it also could show where in the code the current
execution is. I am using Kate as my editor (i don't want to use one of
the heavy weight editors like eclipse with build in debugging).

For free debugger, try ddd.

This is off-topic please ask platform specific questions in platform
specific groups.

As to your question, what's wrong with gdb? If you can't see where in
the code the execution currently is you must have forgotten to add debug
symbols when compiling, make sure that you have -g in the command line.

The only frontend that I know of is ddd.

unfortunately gdb is not as powerful as the microsoft equivalent one
(that is able to correctly interpret some of the STL containers, such
vectors, and let you navigate inside them), but in some cases it's good
enough.

kdbg, quite simple, nice interface, maybe a little less powerful but
usually it does its job in a good way.

OT: You can even make it interpret your own data-types, but there's some
bugs that prevents it from working correctly with 2D matrices and such.

If you require a "powerful" debugger, there is something wrong with the
way you are developing your code!

Just had a briefing on a debugger for linux called zeroBUGS. The
author was
not statisfied with GDB so he wrote his own. Find it at http://zero-bugs.com
