Comment (by ryandesign):
[https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/ddd/2019-01/msg00002.html Here's a
good summary from Tim Mooney]:
> ddd hasn't had anyone actively maintaining it for many years, so
although
> it's still packaged in brew for Mac and in various package formats for
> different Linux distributions, it doesn't work reliably for many users.
> I'm actually really surprised it still compiles on so many different
systems.
>
> ddd was written in the 90s and was designed to use the Motif graphical
> toolkit. In the intervening time, the C++ language has changed, the
Motif
> toolkit has advanced (and is now opensource), and even the underlying X
> toolkit has changed.
>
> The "Unresolved inheritance operation" is happening because of one of
> those changes. It's possible that an expert in C++ and either X or
Motif
> (Motif experts are becoming exceedingly rare, sadly) could diagnose the
> problem and maybe even easily fix it, but no one has invested the time
to
> do so.
>
> Since ddd probably isn't going to work for you, your best bet is to
learn
> the commands you need to directly interact with the underlying debugger
> (what DDD documentation calls the "inferior" debugger).
>
> Good luck!
