RE: gdb on macOS 10.12 "Sierra"

Hello All,

It looks like Apple has increased security. We have got it to work with a workaround.
In case the signature is not from Apple the System Integrity protection has to be changed.
In this case reboot the machine enter in the recovery mode, start a terminal and issue the command:

$ csrutil enable --without debug

Reboot the system and the debug session will be able to proceed.

Cheers,
/Fred

Reportedly, it works when you disable SIP (which is understandable, given https://developer.apple.com/library/content/documentation/Security/Conceptual/System_Integrity_Protection_Guide/RuntimeProtections/RuntimeProtections.html ), but plain code signing no longer seems to cut it.

No, I haven't tried yet.  Did you investigate if lldb has updated its build instructions ?
