## Debugger front-ends

* Allinea DDT - a graphical debugger supporting for parallel/multi-process and multithreaded applications, for C/C++ and F90.
* DDD is the standard front-end from the GNU Project. It is a complex tool that works with most common debuggers (GDB, jdb, Python debugger, Perl debugger, Tcl, and others) natively or with some external programs (for PHP).
* Many Eclipse perspectives, e.g. the Java Development Tools (JDT), provide a debugger front-end.
* GDB (the GNU debugger) GUI
** Allinea's DDT — a parallel and distributed front-end to a modified version of GDB.
** Code::Blocks — A free cross-platform C, C++ and Fortran IDE with a front end for gdb.
** CodeLite — An open source, cross platform C/C++ IDE which have front end for gdb, the next version of CodeLite (v6.0) will also include a front end to the LLDB (debugger)
** Eclipse C/C++ Development Tools (CDT) — includes visual debugging tools based on GDB.
** Emacs — Emacs editor with built-in support for the GNU Debugger acts as the frontend.
** Nemiver — A GDB frontend that integrates well in the GNOME desktop environment.
** Qt Creator — multi-platform frontend for GDB, CDB and LLDB.
** rr — An open source C/C++ debugger by Mozilla, supporting reproduction of program state and reverse execution
** SlickEdit — contains a GDB front-end as well.
** Xcode — contains a front-end for LLDB and GDB.

## Frame debuggers

Software specializing in debugging of frame rendering.
* CodeXL — development environment including profiling and debugging
* RenderDoc — multi-platform, open source
