From: K-mart Cashier on 3 Jul 2008 00:45 How does a graphical interface like the DDD (Data Display Debugger) interact with gdb (GNU debugger)? I mean, I don't think the people that maintain gdb modified the source code so that it accompany coders that wanted to add a graphical interface to a text based program. Chad

I don't think the gdb maintainers had to modify anything. Since gdb is a text-based application you simply can start if with its input and output channels redirected to pipes and then send com- mands to it and read the output and convert that to a graphic. That's the advantage of text-based applications - it's rather easy to wrap a GUI around them or use them from a program for whatever purposes you might come up with.
