Title: DDD---A Free Graphical Front-End for UNIX Debuggers
Author: Andreas Zeller and Dorothea Lütkehaus 
Abstract: DDD survey
 The Data Display Debugger (DDD) is a novel graphical user interface to GDB
 and DBX, the popular UNIX debuggers. Besides typical features such as
 viewing source texts and breakpoints, DDD provides a graphical data display,
 where data structures are displayed as graphs. A simple mouse click
 dereferences pointers or reveals structure contents. Complex data structures
 can be explored incrementally and interactively, using automatic layout if
 preferred. Each time the program stops, the data display reflects the
 current variable values. DDD has been designed to compete with well­known
 commercial debuggers; however, it is free software, protected by the GNU
 general public license. In this paper, we give a quick presentation of DDD
 and describe its architecture and basic functionality from a technical point
 of view.
