The old “debugger” was written on top of GDB. It worked, but was slow and probably would not have been satisfactory for end users. It might be possible to use GDB as the user interface, but then I suspect the type of interface most users may want is not really what end users will want to employ. Plus, I’m not sure that GDB is designed to be a front end to a “foreign" language runtime.

After a helpful conversation at the pike meet-up last month, I???ve been working on a proof-of-concept debugger for pike code. There is a lot of work left to do, and hopefully others will help me out, but I think that things are at a point where it can be used to do actual debugging.
I presume you looked (and rejected?) integrating with gdb?
