Use Anjuta, but at least the 2.3.1 unstable release. There're some
debugger stability updates included compared to the last stable

Admittedly, I'm not a completely neutral observer here, and I don't
mean to denigrate the great work the anjuta guys have been doing
lately, but I try the anjuta debugger on non-trivial programs from
time to time, and I always seem to end up with anjuta crashing. Has
that improved in 2.3.1?
Yes, the debugger has been much improved in 2.3.1. All versions before
crashed really often. It's still not perfect, but I use it all the time
for debugging. Even my complex multi-threaded application is possible
to debug with Anjuta 2.3.1.
I added a lot of bug reports for Anjuta and I like to see that the
developers react very fast and solve the issues often in some days in
SVN.
Currently I'm testing a special Anjuta patch to use the gdb option "-d"
to add external source files. This helps me to debug libraries that are
installed with source and debug info on Gentoo. No other GUI that I
know has the possibility to step into and through libraries that easy.
