Are you talking about the Insight debugger? If so, it seems like just gdb with a friendly face.
Yes, and this is also what is done in RHIDE, which contains an embedded gdb. But it is a great advantage to step inside source code instead of printing each time the stop line and having to look into the source what is around.
The Insight debugger (a GUI interface to gdb) should support Pascal as well (well, I tried it a while ago (under Cygwin), and it worked "somewhat" :)). The Bloodshed C++ debugger stuff looks to me line plain old commandline, gdb hooked into by the IDE. It would be interesting to see how their IDE hooks into the commandline gdb, but trawling through the C++ code does not appeal to me in the slightest. The original Delphi code for the Pascal IDE was difficult enough to figure out ...
