+DDD is the Data Display Debugger, a common graphical front-end for
+GDB, DBX, and XDB debuggers.
+
+DDD is a Motif application that besides the "usual" features such as
+viewing source texts and breakpoints. DDD provides a graphical data
+display, where data structures are displayed as graphs. A simple
+mouse click dereferences pointers or reveals structure contents.
+Complex data structures can be explored incrementally and
+interactively, using automatic layout if preferred. Each time the
+program stops, the data display reflects the current variable values.
