21.1.6 Darwin
gdb provides the following commands specific to the Darwin target:
set debug darwin num- When set to a non zero value, enables debugging messages specific to
the Darwin support. Higher values produce more verbose output.
show debug darwin- Show the current state of Darwin messages.
set debug mach-o num- When set to a non zero value, enables debugging messages while
gdb is reading Darwin object files. (Mach-O is the
file format used on Darwin for object and executable files.) Higher
values produce more verbose output. This is a command to diagnose
problems internal to gdb and should not be needed in normal
usage.
show debug mach-o- Show the current state of Mach-O file messages.
set mach-exceptions onset mach-exceptions off- On Darwin, faults are first reported as a Mach exception and are then
mapped to a Posix signal. Use this command to turn on trapping of
Mach exceptions in the inferior. This might be sometimes useful to
better understand the cause of a fault. The default is off.
show mach-exceptions- Show the current state of exceptions trapping.
