Is there any tool for command line debugging on linux, instead of gdb?

Is there any tool for command line debugging on linux, instead of gdb?

GDB sometimes make me feel tired, because I am not that familiar with it. Just want to find another way to do debugging.

Other than GDB there is LLDB which is based on clang and LLVM. It uses different syntax than GDB and tends to be a little easier to script. Though it lacks some features of GDB such as remote debugging.

Instead of gdb, try gdbtui for a semi-graphical interface.

For a full GUI, try one of these front-ends for gdb:

[gdb] does not contain its own graphical user interface, and defaults to a command-line interface. Several front-ends have been built for it, such as UltraGDB, Xxgdb, Data Display Debugger (DDD), Nemiver, KDbg, Xcode debugger, GDBtk/Insight and the HP Wildebeest Debugger GUI (WDB GUI). IDEs such as Codelite, Code::Blocks, Dev-C++, Geany, GNAT Programming Studio (GPS), KDevelop, Qt Creator, Lazarus, MonoDevelop, Eclipse, NetBeans and VisualStudio (see VS AddIn Gallery) can interface with GDB. GNU Emacs has a "GUD mode" and tools for VIM exist (e.g. clewn.) These offer facilities similar to debuggers found in IDEs.
