I am currently working on a GNUstep frontend to gdb... in the initial
stages right now. Here is FEATURES.GNUstep:

* Exceptions

Able to track exceptions, as counting, stopping at, or force ignoring.

* Reference Counting

Tracking [(auto)release] and [retain] calls, reporting errors and
inconsistencies.

* External Debugging

A debugging library, libDebugKit, will be provided for applications to
enable run-time debugging. Including Class counting, run debugger on
error, etc.

* Objective-C Support

Provides Objective-C support in a non-aware gdb, by having a translation

proxy to mangle/demangle names where appropriate (and where possible).
Also provides object instance inspectors for watch.

* Application Services

Provides services for miscellaneous debugging features within a running
application, which appear in the Services menu.
