Description-en: curses-based interface to the GNU Debugger (GDB)
CGDB is a curses frontend to the GNU Debugger (GDB). The goal of CGDB is
to be lightweight and responsive; not encumbered with unnecessary features.
.
The interface is designed to deliver the familiar GDB text interface, with a
split screen showing the source as it executes. The UI is modeled on the
classic Unix text editor, vi. Those familiar with vi should feel right at home
using CGDB.
.
Some features offered by CGDB are:
* Syntax-highlighted source window
* Visual breakpoint setting
* Keyboard shortcuts for common functions
* Searching source window (using regexp)
