gdb with xcode

[Charles_A_]

I am using the gnu debugger with Intel Fortran for the first time. There are a number of mysteries, which may or may not be connected. My program is compiled with x86_64 and optimization -00. (OSX 10.5.2, Intel core duo 2, ifort 10.1.014)

In my /opt/intel/ folder there are only three folders: fc, fce, and idbe. Shouldn't there be an idb folder? If I select custom install in the install program the idb option does not show up (I checked versions 006,012 and 014).

I get this error when the debugger starts:

And lastly, I cannot see any globals. Local variables are fine.

Any hints would be very much appreciated.

For Mac OS X running on a 64 bit platform, there is only idbe. On the Mac, this IDB can handle both 32bit and 64bit executables. Thus, we no longer install the 32bit-only debugger "idb" EXCEPT on older Core Solo and Core Duo Macs (these are strictly 32bit processors).

Remember on Mac OS X you need to use -save-temps on the compile line.

GDB, in general, is not very Fortran friendly. So I can't help you with GDB issues.

I use idbe from the command line for debug. It does not work within Xcode, unfortunately.

Just an FYI on gdb -- You can use gdb from the command line, and gdb is documented by Apple to work from within Xcode. Since Apple supports gdb use, you can get the best information and support on it from Apple, and the following links look like good places to start:
