Debugging C++ in Linux

After using Visual Studio for a week, I find CodeBlocks and other IDEs in Linux far inferior. I don't know if I am missing something, but I would love to have an IDE like VS in Linux. I have tried gdb, but I find it difficult to use. For instance, is there anything in Linux that can inspect values of a linked list like how Visual Studio shows.

enter image description here

I need to try out DDD. (the interface looks so 1980s :()

Now You just need Clion from JetBrain, more productivity and easy debugging.

Try Netbeans with the C++ plugin. I find it very useful.

Surprised no on-ones mentioned Eclipse with CDT. Having used VS for years before migrating to Linux, I found it to be just as competent.

The shortest possible answer is: yes there are IDE's that work on Linux, but I have never seen anything that comes close to Visual Studio when it comes to debugging.

I'd suggest you to check out KDevelop and Qt Creator.

They've got a graphical debugger (it's just a GDB IDE, just like DDD) which lets you surf through class fields and pointers just like in your example.

Nemiver is a standalone graphical debugger for C and C++. It is actively maintained and has lots of features a modern debugger should have: setting breakpoints, watchpoints, stepping through code, inspecting memory and registers, tooltips showing contents of variables, integrated disassembler, source files are displayed with syntax highlighting, and so on.

Yes, the Data Display Debugger, or DDD, displays data structures graphically while debugging. Having said that, if you are writing your own linked list class in C++, you are not really taking full advantage of the language. Why not use the already fully-debugged std::list?

Check out MonoDevelop as well. It is designed to be very similar to Visual Studio.
