On: Debugging with GDB

[sharikous]

gdb has been mauled by Apple in macOS in the name of security

Maybe I am spoiled but I cannot bear the nagging about code-signing it yourself

[saagarjha → sharikous]

GDB doesn’t work anyways even after you codesign it because it’s not actively maintained.

[rurban → saagarjha]

Nonsense. Of course it's maintained. Used it code signed on macOS for years. With MacPorts, the proper installer. Not the kids toys.

[saagarjha → rurban]

It's not, and if you've actually tried to point it at programs where codesigning is necessary (i.e. native macOS programs) you'll find that GDB fails to attach to processes properly because the code is racing on a port set.
