I really like ddd and it is the only gdb frontend I use (ok - besides other debuggers like Lauterbach Trace32) and I would really like it if ddd evolves. My main feature requests would be: - a ddd release without the old fashioned motif gui. I prefer to use the keyboard and I like the split windows configuration of ddd (especially on 24" screens) but all this is really painfull if you have to move the cursor to the right position before you can type anything ... I would really appreciate a ddd release with gtk frontend - data display layout. ddd seems to establish some strange kind of order on the different displays - as some of them are only valid in particular scopes, these displays vanish and reappear when leaving or entering the corresponding functions. The display are then rearranged every time with the annoying effect that some of them move to the right or downwards more and more ... It would be nice if these stayed in place all the time - I often work on remote targets (microcontrollers) with memory mapped I/O registers controlling the various peripheral units. It would really be nice if one could browse all these registers in a structured manner (e.g. via menus and submenus), it would be even better if one could also alter these registers. I think that is one of the main advantages that debuggers (like the Trace32 debugger) for embedded systems have. GDB already allows accessing these I/O registers - as long as you know the address, so a clever interface might be really helpful at this point. So, all in all, I use ddd, I like ddd and I will use it in the future und would like to like ddd even more in the future ;-) Ciao, Fabian
