Re: Mac OS use of ddd

Thanks,

I was looking up solutions online and came across a similar explanation.=20

Do you have any recommendations for a gdb debugger gui that is compatible on=
 MacOS?

I=E2=80=99ve been sifting through forums online but they all seem similarly o=
utdated. If i just have to deal with the standard gdb output format, I feel c=
omfortable doing that, just looking for alternatives!=20

Best,
AE
