Its features include:
-*Intuitive GUI interface
-*The usual debugging operations (step-into/step-over/run/break)
-*Conditional breakpoints
-*Debugging core is implemented as a plugin so people can have drop in replacements.
- Of course if a given platform has several debugging APIs available,
- then you may have a plugin that implements any of them.
-*Basic instruction analysis
-*View/Dump memory regions
-*Effective address inspection
-*The data dump view is tabbed, allowing you to have several views of memory open at the same time and quickly switch between them.
-*Importing and generation of symbol maps
