How To Install ddd on Fedora 34
Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install ddd on Fedora 34.
What is ddd
The Data Display Debugger (DDD) is a popular GUI for command-line debuggers like GDB, DBX, JDB, WDB, XDB, the Perl debugger, and the Python debugger. DDD allows you to view source texts and provides an interactive graphical data display, in which data structures are displayed as graphs. You can use your mouse to dereference pointers or view structure contents, which are updated every time the program stops. DDD can debug programs written in Ada, C, C++, Chill, Fortran, Java, Modula, Pascal, Perl, and Python. DDD provides machine-level debugging; hypertext source navigation and lookup; breakpoint, watchpoint, backtrace, and history editors; array plots; undo and redo; preferences and settings editors; program execution in the terminal emulation window, debugging on a remote host, an on-line manual, extensive help on the Motif user interface, and a command-line interface with full editing, history and completion capabilities.
