gdb-dashboard
A modular visual interface for GDB that displays program state information to reduce debugging commands.
What is gdb-dashboard?
GDB dashboard is a visual interface for the GNU Debugger (GDB) that displays program debugging information in a modular layout. It reduces the need for manual GDB commands by automatically showing relevant data like registers, stack traces, and source code when the program stops. The tool is implemented as a standalone `.gdbinit` configuration file using GDB's Python API.
Developers and software engineers who use GDB for debugging C, C++, or other compiled languages and want a more visual, streamlined debugging workflow without leaving the command-line interface.
It provides immediate visual feedback about program state without modifying GDB's core functionality, allowing developers to debug more efficiently while maintaining full compatibility with standard GDB commands and workflows.
