GDBFrontend is a flexible, extensible graphical debugger frontend for GDB that runs as a local web server and is accessed through a browser. It supports debugging C/C++ applications, including Dockerized and embedded targets, and can be extended with plugins.

Use cases

  • debug c/c++ programs with a gui instead of the gdb command line
  • debug dockerized c/c++ applications
  • debug embedded devices over gdb
  • browse variables and memory visually while stepping through code
  • extend gdb with a plugin-based debugger ui

When to choose

  • you want a graphical, browser-based interface for GDB on Linux
  • you need to debug C/C++ apps running in Docker or on embedded targets
  • you want an extensible debugger frontend with plugin support

When to avoid

  • you need a debugger on Windows or macOS natively (it targets Linux with GDB, Python 3, and tmux)
  • you prefer an IDE-integrated debugger rather than a standalone web UI
  • you debug languages other than C/C++ with limited GDB support
