Open Source Desktop Operating Systems Debuggers

MinGW: A native Windows port of the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC), with freely distributable import libraries and header files for building native Windows applications; includes extensions to the MSVC runtime to support C99 functionality. All of MinGW's software will execute on the 64bit Windows platforms.

The Lazarus IDE is a stable and feature rich visual programming environment for the FreePascal Compiler. It supports the creation of self-standing graphical and console applications and runs on Linux, FreeBSD, MacOSX and Windows.

A gdb-like debugger for bash

CeGCC is a cross-development environment for creating Windows CE (Pocket PC) applications, from a Linux, Cygwin, or MacOS-X host PC.

DUMA (Detect Unintended Memory Access) is a multi-platform memory debugging library. It can detect memory leaks and buffer overruns (or underruns) in a malloc() / new memory buffer. DUMA is a fork of Bruce Perens' Electric Fence library. sourceforge isn't maintained for many years! suggest you want to look at https://github.com/johnsonjh/duma

The ECLiPSe Constraint Logic Programming System is designed for solving combinatorial optimization problems, for the development of new constraint solver technology and their hybrids, and for the teaching of modelling, solving and search techniques.

SETEdit is a friendly text editor. It is a text mode application with windows, buttons, mouse support, etc. The main target of the project are programmers so the editor is mainly oriented to programming.

After a program has been thrown into the world in binary form, it can boomerang back as source code. The Boomerang reverse engineering framework is the first general native executable decompiler available to the public.

Development environment for OS/2 and DOS

A retargettable micro-controller and embedded system emulator architecture, providing common supports to emulate various types of micro-processors & devices on an x86 PC. Development of emulation for Arduino and various shields is just about to be launched in 2012.

ELFIO is a header-only C++ library intended for reading and generating files in the ELF binary format

RHIDE is an integrated development environment with inetgrated debugger GDB

NB: Development has been moved to Github: https://github.com/avrdudes/avarice AVaRICE is a program for interfacing the Atmel JTAG ICE to GDB to allow users to debug their embedded AVR target.

Camelia is an IDE for OCaml designed with students and new users in mind. It sports syntax highlighting, tool-tip type checking, clickable error explanations, an integrated debugger, and more.

MSPDebug is a free debugger for use with MSP430 MCUs. It supports FET430UIF, eZ430, RF2500 and Olimex MSP-JTAG-TINY programmers. It can be used as a proxy for gdb or as an independent debugger with support for programming, disassembly and reverse eng

Prolint is a tool for automated source code review of Progress 4GL code. Prolint can enforce company coding standards and finds sloppy code and code that may perform differently than how the programmer intended.

Excellent macro based library to see program flow, variables, timings, errors, warnings. "Must have" for C/C++ programmers.

Tool for monitoring of OCI client applications [f.e.: TOAD/TOra, or any OCI-based fat client] interaction with Oracle Database. Monitors SQL statements and values passed/fetched between client application and RDBMS. Consists of simple and nice GUI [C#] and events handler [C++] with quite a lot of OCI hacking. Interface between handlers and tool's GUI is through tailing of XML "pipeline" files in $HOME/.ocimonitor directory. Tool is quite similar to Quest SQLMonitor, which is unable to trace values.

UPS is a source level C, C++ and Fortran debugger with an X windows interface. It's a very light debugger, but is quite efficient and works well. An ANSI compliant C interpreter is included.

SPE is a python IDE with auto indentation&completion,call tips,syntax coloring&highlighting,uml viewer,class explorer,source index,todo list,pycrust shell,file browsers,drag&drop,Blender support.Spe ships with wxGlade,PyChecker and Kiki.

BuGLe combines a graphical OpenGL debugger with a selection of filters on the OpenGL command stream. The debugger allows viewing of state, textures, framebuffers and shaders, while the filters allow for logging, error checking, video capture and more.

Mickey is a hex/ascii file viewer and editor that runs on all major operating systems thanks to FLTK.

wspacegen is an interactive IDE for programing with whitespace (http://compsoc.dur.ac.uk/whitespace/). So it's possible to create .ws code relative easily and debug it as well. But attention, you'll addicted to it (-:

cingb is an ATTEMPT to write a Gameboy-emulator for all kinds of platforms. It plays Gameboy and Gameboy Color ROMs, includes a debugger for step-by-step analysis of Gameboy programs and might be also interesting for educational purposes.

Simulator for 486 processor. Can be customized for embedded system emulation.
