Software:List of debuggers

Short description: none

This is a list of debuggers: computer programs that are used to test and debug other programs.

Debuggers

• Advanced Debugger — an older UNIX debugger dating back to Seventh Edition UNIX
• Allinea DDT — graphical debugger for debugging multithreaded and multiprocess applications on Linux platforms
• AQtime — profiler and memory/resource debugger for Windows
• ARM Development Studio 5 (DS-5)
• CA/EZTEST — was a CICS interactive test/debug software package
• CodeView — was a debugger for the DOS platform
• dbx — a proprietary source-level debugger for Pascal/Fortran/C/C++ on UNIX platforms
• DEBUG — the built-in debugger of DOS and Microsoft Windows
• Dragonfly (Opera) — JavaScript and HTML DOM debugger
• Dr. Memory — a DynamoRIO-based memory debugger
• Dynamic debugging technique (DDT), and its octal counterpart Octal Debugging Technique
• FusionDebug — interactive debugger for Adobe ColdFusion, Railo, and Lucee CFML Engines
• FusionReactor — interactive IDE style debugger which includes various extensions/controls for allowing debugging of Java in production environments
• GNU Debugger
• Parasoft Insure++ — a multi-platform memory debugger
• Intel Debugger
• Interactive Disassembler (IDA Pro)
• Java Platform Debugger Architecture
• Jinx — a whole-system debugger for heisenbugs. It works transparently as a device driver.
• JSwat — open-source Java debugger
• LLDB
• MacsBug — a debugger for the classic Mac OS
• Memcheck — a Valgrind-based memory debugger
• Modular Debugger — a C/C++ source level debugger for Solaris and derivates
• OllyDbg — a disassembly-based debugger for Windows (GUI)
• Omniscient Debugger — Forward and backward debugger for Java
• Rational Purify (IBM) — multi-platform memory debugger
• sdb — a symbolic debugger for C programs for ancient UNIX platforms
• SIMMON (Simulation Monitor)
• SoftICE — kernel mode debugger for Windows
• SEGGER Ozone — debugger and performance analyser for embedded systems
• TRACE32 — in-circuit debugger for embedded systems
• Turbo Debugger — Pascal/C/assembly debugger for DOS
• Undo LiveRecorder — C, C++, Go, Rust, Java time travel debugger
• Ups — C, Fortran source level debugger
• Valgrind — Valgrind is a programming tool for memory debugging, memory leak detection, and profiling.
• VB Watch — debugger for Visual Basic 6.0
• Visual Studio Debugger — debugger for .NET and native Windows applications
• WinDbg — multipurpose debugger for Windows
• Xdebug — PHP debugger and profiler

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 — 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
