GDB Frontend with C Pointer Visualization

Would be amazing if this could also integrate with a language server to provide code browsing functionality. These days I'm using Vim's gdb integration, which doesn't have any data visualisation features, but lets me use all of my code browsing plugins.

visual studio code is pretty good these days when you get the right extensions. I've setup my projects to be debugged with gdb with vscode as the GUI. My build system also generate a compile_commands.json to feed to clangd https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=llvm-vs-...

Another good project that people love to hate is eclipse, if you want a GDB powered GUI, its always worth a shot.

cgdb probably gets you part way there. you can view code source in the upper half while stepping your code in the lower half.
