Re:GDB Frontend with C Pointer Visualization by cryptonector on Monday February 17, 2020 @10:35AM (#22348377)
That's comparable to DTrace. The Solaris kernel debugger, kmdb, is something else, and really worth knowing (if only it was universally adopted by C-coded kernels!).

With kmdb you get to write shell-like pipelines using powerful data structure traversal builtins, and it is safe (you can't crash the system by dereferencing NULL pointers). Really, it's quite fantastic.
