Re: [cdt-dev] How to perform Multi-Threaded Debugging on CDT 6.0 
Hi all:

thanks for all the continuing work you are doing on cdt.
This being said: gdb-7.0 is the first one to support darwin, and still has a few issues (debugging dynamically linked binaries is not yet supported for instance). Until these are fixed, apple's gdb-6.3.50 is really the _only_ options mac users have. And because Apple is happily adding new language features, I am not so sure fsf-gdb can become the default for eclipse on mac users in the short/mid term.
The best solution IMHO would be if someone could step in and support apple's gdb in eclipse. I know that dev resources are sparse, but if the standard process launcher were left to die it would mean losing a large platform for cdt. 

Just my 2ct :)

I've tried to figure out what was going on from the traces.
Here is what I'm thinking

1- is version 6.3.50 for Apple, based on GDB 6.3?  If so,
  you should know that DSF-GDB only supports 6.6 or higher.
  In fact, I see that some commands are simply not answered
  by GDB.  These commands seem to correspond to relatively
  new commands (after 6.3).  So, if you are running 6.3, I suggest
  you try with a newer version.
2- Be aware that this problem could be because you are running on MacOS. 
  Few of us have access to a Mac and DSF-GDB was not really
  tested on a Mac.  A couple of people have tried it, but nothing
  to guarantee it would work.

Sorry I can't be of more help

Marc
