   SmartGDB [http://web.archive.org/web/20040224095847/http://hegel.ittc.ukans.edu/projects/smartgdb/index.html] merges the commands offered by GDB with the Tcl/Tk scripting language.

** Description **

[AMG] 2008-04-16 [PYK] 2012-12-15: The latest release of Insight (6.8-1, posted 2009-07-19),
embeds Tcl/Tk 8.4.1 and [[[incr Tcl]]] 3.2.  I imagine it could benefit greatly
from a newer version of Tcl.  For example, libgui/src/subcommand.c is obsoleted
by namespace ensembles, libgui/library/list.tcl contains an implementation of
[lassign], and libgui/library/lframe.tcl provides a [labelframe].
