epasveeron Ask HN: DDD was a great debugger – what would a modern equivalent look like?

This debugger is very good. Even handles MPI programs. It's a bit pricey, though.

epasveeron Just redesigned my personal site with a TTY-style interface

It won't let me pick up the axe.

epasveeron Seer: A GUI front end to GDB for Linux

Thanks. I see it. I also added a bug report for the janky "show variable value" on mouse over.

epasveeron Seer: A GUI front end to GDB for Linux

Hi, Seergdb author here.

Thanks for your honest review. Can you explain more about not being able to set the editor font? My tests show that as working. Make sure to "Save Configuration..." to make things permanent.

Also, for the "show variable value on hover", I'll test it.

Can you (or others) create an issue on my github page for any bugs or feature requests?

Thanks.

No it is not.

It's using gdb's "mi" mode.

epasveeron Metformin decelerates aging clock in male monkeys

My experience with metformin, those gastrointestinal problems occur the first 4 months of taking it.

I had an experience in a Home Depot, had to briskly walk to the bathroom. Like clenching a quater between your cheeks for a 100 yards. Barely made it.

Anyway, the body adjusts. After 3 or 4 months, all is good.

I believe it's expensive for the delivery system, not the insulin itself. (Could be wrong).

epasveeron GF: native UI for GDB on Linux with Python and C++ extensions

Hi (Seer author here).

> seer: I think it missed #3 and #4.

Seer has the concept of 'projects'. A project can hold many settings, including breakpoints, watchpoints, etc... It is a manual thing so save a project and load a project. Not sure what you mean by 'automatically load'.

Seer has a visualizer to view a struct and expand it, updating after each step/next.

A recent change (in the project's github "main") now has struct visualization in the Variable Logger, Tracker, and Local Variables views. All expandable.

>> Not sure HN is the best forum for debugging such issues

You can move the discussion to the github page. :^)

The StructVisualizer can follow *pointers. The default method is to view the struct/class that is pointed at in the same visualizer.

You can RMB click on the pointer in the StructVisualizer to open a second visualizer for that pointer.

I know this is a bit aways from how DDD worked. DDD has a nice way of "graphing" the struct/class tree, including any referenced struct/class that come from pointers.

Who knows, it may be in my plans :^)

Can you provide the version of QT you're using? I suspect it is old. Seer needs QT 5.15.2 or newer.

% qmake --version

% qmake-qt5 --version
