Description Martin Jacobsson 2012-04-20 12:01:31 UTC 
I've tried to debug a simple hello world program with gdb 7.4 on os x.
The program is built with  -gc -debug -m64 

(gdb) list
invalid dwarf2 offset 1594098948


When running the same executable in lldb I can list the source code when setting a breakpoint, but
no frame variables are showing (a separate issue).

For OSX, I think users should stop using GDB, as it is getting quite outdated and doesn't have any of the recent D support added to it.
Comment 2 Martin Nowak 2017-06-05 18:04:31 UTC 
Closing since OSX no longer ships with gdb and the problem was likely solved in the meantime anyhow.
Newer gdb versions should work, see e.g. https://www.patosai.com/posts/2015/03/24/installing-gdb-on-os-x-yosemite for how to install gdb instead of lldb.
Not sure how good the lldb support is.
