Or you can use cgdb (http://cgdb.sourceforge.net/), which has syntax highlighting and Vim keybindings.

Oh my god, thank you. Have used Vim and gdb for two years and didn't know cgdb existed.

Amazing. Dint know about that!

There's also gdb-mode for emacs, if you're so inclined: http://emacs-fu.blogspot.com/2009/02/fancy-debugging-with-gd...

Ubuntu/debian has a package called gdbtui which does exactly what gdb -tui does

Can't seem to find the package on Ubuntu 10.10, do I need to enable some repository?

EDIT: Apparently it was included in the basic gdb package or something.

It is a simple script.

cat `which gdbtui`

#!/bin/sh

prog=$(basename $0 tui)

dir=$(dirname $0) if [ "$dir" != "." ]; then prog=$dir/$prog fi

exec $prog --tui "$@"

Not sure if I'm adding value here but gdbtui also works (article mentions gdb -tui).

This is a really nice way to debug generated assembly, useful for LLVM hacking.

made my day! thanks :)
