Open source c++ debugger for windows

Question

Does anybody know an open source C++ debugger for Windows?

It doesn't have to be good, it just has to work. (I'd prefer one written in C++)

thanks:)

Answer 1

GDB but ofcourse!

And be assured it works as well as any debugger does:)

Answer 2

In the absence of any statements to the contrary, I'll assume here that gdb will work fine for you. For a comprehensive tool-chain, look to mingw.

Answer 3

Also check out Eclipse CDT (C/C++ Development Tooling) -- this is OPEN SOURCE -- BUT i still doubt it can beat VS 2010 debugger?

Any ideas anyone?

Answer 4

Technically these both are IDEs, but maybe that's what you mean by debugger . I think you can use whatever compiler/debugger you like with them:

• NetBeans - I'm not sure if it will remain open, seeing as Oracle bought Sun Microsystems. It's great as a Java IDE and has C++ modules.
• Code::Blocks - I use it on Linux and love it. I can't tell you much about it on Windows though, as I've never used it on that platform. I just know it has an installer.
