macOS how do I use GDB

dancks · Jan 10, 2011

with a file that requires input?

I tried running it and it just says reading source from library with trailing "..."

I'm not sure, maybe remove the input file bit and hard code in a test file?

This is how I do it from the command line:

Code:

$ gdb /path/to/my/program
 license and loading info 
(gdb) run /path/to/my/inputfile

You can even attach the file to standard input by doing

Code:

(gdb) run < /path/to/my/inputfile

like you normally would from the command line.

If you're using Xcode, you get info on your executable and set the arguments in there.
