Summary
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nicer debugger is a GUI for GDB, with killer features such as:
- Multiple process support
- Emacs and Vim as the text editor
- Passive process support (launch now, debug later)
- Can still use GDB commands
- Pretty Gtk user interface (no more ddd uglies!)

In a nutshell: ndbg --help
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Run a program, without and with arguments:
  ndbg <executable>
  ndbg --args <executable> <args>

Attach to a process:
  ndbg <pid>

Run an executable in an existing ndbg:
  ndbg_in_existing <executable>         --> 
  ndbg_in_existing --args <executable> <args>

Attach to a process in an existing ndbg:
  ndbg_in_existing <pid>


Testing
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Run all unit tests
  ndbg --test                        --> run unit tests

Run specific test matching /foo/:
  ndbg --test foo
