The Data Display Debugger is an open source , graphical front end for command line based debuggers and part of the GNU project . The purpose of DDD is to make it easier to find errors in programs by displaying data structures graphically. DDD is not itself a debugger, but always requires a subordinate debugger such as GDB , DBX or XDB .
DDD is not only suitable for debugging compiled programs, but also for interpreted languages such as Python , Perl or Bash . The widest range of functions is offered by DDD in conjunction with the GNU Debugger, GDB.
In general, the functional scope of DDD can be summarized in the following points:
- Starting a program
- Stop the program sequence
- Insight into data structures
- Editing of the program source code
With the DDD, for example, source code lines and graphically processed data can be viewed, with data structures displayed as diagrams. With a click of the mouse, pointers can be dereferenced or the contents of structures displayed, which are updated every time the program is stopped.
There are a number of plug-ins available for use with DDD .
