gdb doesn't work on macos High Sierra 10.13.3

问题:

I have installed gdb 8.1 with brew.

I have codesign gdb also and .gdbinit as below:

set startup-with-shell off.

I have disabled SIP feature:

$ csrutil status System Integrity Protection status: disabled. 

But gdb still doesn't work:

#include  using namespace std;  int main() {   cout 

Compile command:

g++ -g test.cpp 

gdb output:

What correct steps to make gdb work on macos sierra?

回答1:

This is caused by latest gdb 8.1, degrade gdb to 8.0.1 could solve this problem.

How to degrade to gdb 8.0.1

• Unlink current gdb: brew unlink gdb
• Install gdb 8.0.1: brew install https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/9ec9fb27a33698fc7636afce5c1c16787e9ce3f3/Formula/gdb.rb
• Optional: avoid upgrade gdb with brew pin gdb
