WinGDB is a Visual Studio Add-In allowing to debug MinGW applications on local machine or Linux programs on remote machines using GDB as a backend and SSH protocol for communication. Most Visual Studio debugger features are supported: launching or attaching to an existing process, source code view, stepping, breakpoints, call stack view, locals, autos, and watch views, multiple threads, I/O console with VT100 emulation, core dump analysis.

WinGDB is an extension for Visual Studio IDE allowing to debug processes on remote machines running Linux (or other Unix systems) or local machines (built with use of MinGW tools), using native Visual Studio debugging user interface.
