looking for a c++ debugger

The eclips CDT debug perspective is a very good frontend for gcc.
I do find it a bit annoying that it doesn't display std containers like
strings, maps and lists in a friendly manner (Visual Studio's debugger is
excellent in this sense).
I found kdbg a bit less friendly, but haven't tried it in a couple of years,
perhaps it has improved since.
