Yes I found "ddd" at http://www.gnu.org/software/ddd/
It's a graphical front-end for GDB. That means that you can set breakpoints in 
any function (not file) which would be good enough.
Except the same function can be named in several class files, and I don't see 
a way of selecting the class -- the same problem as not selecting the file.

I don't see how GDB or DDD are OOP-aware. Are they?

A good tip, Shawn, I'll look for it!
