For normal programming stuff i really like the gdb interface integrated in emacs. It really works well. But for deep dives i like to have more control, for that i use pure gdb + voltron [0]. And gdb has an understanding of structs and the local stack as long as nothing is thrashed to much. Look at the print command. But on OpenBSD you might want to install the gdb from the packages, because the gdb in base lacks a lot of features when it comes to convenience and hand holding. The gdb from packages is then called egdb. [0] https://github.com/snare/voltron BR
