Or you can use cgdb (http://cgdb.sourceforge.net/), which has syntax highlighting and Vim keybindings.

Oh my god, thank you. Have used Vim and gdb for two years and didn't know cgdb existed.

Ubuntu/debian has a package called gdbtui which does exactly what gdb -tui does

Can't seem to find the package on Ubuntu 10.10, do I need to enable some repository?

EDIT: Apparently it was included in the basic gdb package or something.

It is a simple script.

cat `which gdbtui`

#!/bin/sh

prog=$(basename $0 tui)

dir=$(dirname $0) if [ "$dir" != "." ]; then prog=$dir/$prog fi

exec $prog --tui "$@"

Not sure if I'm adding value here but gdbtui also works (article mentions gdb -tui).

This is a really nice way to debug generated assembly, useful for LLVM hacking.
