It's no different than any other C application on Linux.  Use gdb.
However, given that Asterisk is heavily multi-threaded and processing
information in real-time is critical, stepping through code while it's
running isn't terribly practical.

I don't recommend any of them.  I just use gdb directly when I use it.
However, I at least know of the existence of ddd [1].
