This may seem out of left field, but have a look at smarteiffel: it's a
different programming language, but is very compatible with C -- its
compiler generates C code. My son recently tried using Eiffel and
reports that he has never needed the debugger to find out what his
programs were doing, whereas it was an essential tool with C. In short,
Eiffel catches a lot of errors at compile time, and correctly deals with
the storage management issues that cause so much grief with C/C++.
The Debian packages for smarteiffel are woefully out of date last time I
looked; you are better off downloading it from the
smarteiffel web site and compiling it yourself:
