To my knowledge, gdb is not full screen in the same sense CodeView is.
However, GNU Emacs may to run gdb as a subprocess (the M-x gdb
command), using a two window setup, one for gdb commands, the other
for looking at the source files and setting breakpoints.  Whenever the
execution stops, the source window is automatically repositionned in
the correct file, with an arrow pointing on the current stop position.
Even if some might argue on this, to a certain extent, I consider this
is full screen debugging.
