Developers in need of an GNU project debugging solution
About GDB
GDB, the GNU Project debugger, allows you to see what is going on 'inside' another program while it executes - or what another program was doing at the moment it crashed. Start your program, specifying anything that might affect its behavior. Examine what has happened, when your program has stopped. Change things in your program, so you can experiment with correcting the effects of one bug and go on to learn about another. Those programs might be executing on the same machine as GDB (native), on another machine (remote), or on a simulator. GDB can run on most popular UNIX and Microsoft Windows variants, as well as on Mac OS X. Inferior objects now contain a read-only 'connection_num' attribute that gives the connection number as seen in 'info connections' and 'info inferiors'. New method gdb.Frame.level() which returns the stack level of the frame object.

Telepresence
Telepresence streamlines your local development process, enabling immediate feedback. You can launch your local environment on your laptop, equipped with your preferred tools, while Telepresence seamlessly connects them to the microservices and test databases they rely on. It simplifies and expedites collaborative development, debugging, and testing within Kubernetes environments by establishing a seamless connection between your local machine and shared remote Kubernetes clusters.
Why Telepresence:
Faster feedback loops: Spend less time building, containerizing, and deploying code. Get immediate feedback on code changes by running your service in the cloud from your local machine.
Shift testing left: Create a remote-to-local debugging experience. Catch bugs pre-production without the configuration headache of remote debugging.
Deliver better, faster user experience: Get new features and applications into the hands of users faster and more frequently.

GNU DDD
GNU DDD is a graphical front-end for command-line debuggers such as GDB, DBX, WDB, Ladebug, JDB, XDB, the Perl debugger, the bash debugger bashdb, the GNU Make debugger remake or the Python debugger pydb. Besides usual front-end features such as viewing source texts. DDD has become famous through its interactive graphical data display, where data structures are displayed as graphs. You can support the principle of software freedom by buying stuff from the FSF shop. To run DDD, you need the GNU debugger (GDB), version 4.16 or later (or depending on the program to be debugged, possibly other command-line debuggers such as Ladebug, JDB, XDB, the Perl debugger, the bash debugger bashdb, the GNU Make debugger remake, or the Python debugger pydb).

Z/XDC
Z/XDC gives developers interactive, source-level debugging for mainframe programs across any z/OS environment, helping them step through live code, inspect variables in real time, and resolve issues faster than traditional methods. It eliminates blind debugging by providing complete, real-time visibility into program execution and bringing modern debugging capabilities to mainframe development. Developers can dramatically reduce debugging time from days to hours, test theories immediately without lengthy recompile cycles, make ad hoc changes, perform “what if” scenarios, fix issues, and verify corrections without recompiling. Z/XDC supports line-by-line code stepping, on-the-fly code changes, flag flipping, data field and register modification, PSW control, module loading and deletion, GETMAINs and FREEMAINs, and Event Control Block posting. It provides source-level visibility so developers can view code as written, automatically load source image maps from ADATA, and more.
