gf is a graphical frontend for the GDB debugger, providing source views, breakpoints, watch expressions, call stack, disassembly, and bitmap viewers. It runs on Linux and the BSDs and supports replay debugging with rr.
Use cases
- debug C/C++ programs with a graphical GDB frontend
- visually set breakpoints and inspect variables while debugging
- replay and reverse-debug a trace recorded with rr
- view RGBA bitmaps during graphics debugging
- step through disassembly and registers in a GUI
When to choose
- you want a lightweight native GDB GUI on Linux or BSD
- you need reverse/replay debugging with rr in a visual interface
- you prefer a fast, keyboard-driven debugger over IDE-integrated debugging
When to avoid
- you need a debugger on Windows or macOS
- you want an IDE with integrated build and refactoring tools
- you debug languages not well supported by GDB
