gdb is the 'standard' debugger - but therre are many others. KDevelop has one built in, and there is also gvd, which I haven't tried yet. But I think the best thing to use is gdb. It is console based but very powerful.

i also agree that gdb is a good debugger..
enjoy

I haven't been using gdb to much, but I like ddd very much
cause it provides some graphical interface.

And I'm able to browse through my data structure in a graphical
manner. Only annoying thing is that I haven't figured out how
to syntax highlight the source code while debugging

Hi,
Your answers are really helpful for me. But actually i'm looking for a graphical debugger. I think 'ddd' is one of them. So if anyone about some other graphical debugger for C/C++ and any web site on debugger please inform me.

I think you can try xxgdb its the graphical interface for gdb. It rocks.

IDE interfaces can be expensive most of the free compilers and linkers are command line, or in windows command prompt. Look for the thread I've justed posted under programming, it states the free ones, i seen Cygwin and it looks brillant, i will try it in a couple of weeks, at the moment i'm using borland 5 command line tools it is free, and brillant.

again there are LOADS of FREE IDE's for linux which wrap the command line tools. no expense involved

I second gdb being ingenious... :}

As for graphical frontends/interfaces ... xxgdb hasn't been maintained
for ages and offers less than ddd does.

Cheers,
