If you want to use a powerful gdb visual interface, you may want to try DDD. However, DDD has an old-fashioned GUI which is very crude. I have tried several visual debugging tools, such as RedHat Insight, DDD, Nemiver and kdbg, but none of them is enough powerful or stable. As far as I know, DDD can't display non-English comments in source code.

Now I'm using an awesome GDB init file to construct a convenient debugging interface. It's an open source project and you won't regret it: https://github.com/cyrus-and/gdb-dashboard

There is also a browser-based frontend for GDB: https://github.com/cs01/gdbgui

If you want to try more, search the keyword GDB on GitHub and sort by stars, then you will find many GDB enhancement tools.

Qt Creator is also a fairly decent front-end to gdb ( http://doc.qt.io/qtcreator/index.html ).

Looks interesting. Now, if only I could get combined manual/automatic debugging in CDT.
