  • Check gdb console for gdb message then you will come to know the status of launch and errors if any. Also post screen shot of debug launch configuration used for further analysis. – Chandrayya G K Jun 11 '16 at 18:41
  • @ChandrayyaGK added screenshots I don't see any gdb console message as such – Kumar Vishal Jun 13 '16 at 14:01

I'm running sierra 10.12.4, and apple has completely destroyed the ability to run gdb as far as I can tell.

After poking around it seems that the lldb support in eclipse, though still labeled experimental (in neon 3), works well enough.

So do this:

http://wiki.eclipse.org/CDT/User/FAQ#How_do_I_get_the_LLDB_debugger.3F

and then you can debug. Basically, you install the lldb support, and then set the launcher type to the lldb setting in debug configs and it works. It's kinda slow, but it works.
