here is a link to a C++ (CLion) project. I've distilled/simplified the issue down as much as I could.
The problem is that when debugging, LLDB (version 3.9.0) crashes.
Steps to reproduce crash:
Open project with CLion 2017.1 (use built in LLDB for debug)
Compile the Project
Place breakpoint in main.cpp line 14
Run in debug mode.
Once you're at line 14 breakpoint, then output the variable "an_integer" via the "print an_integer" command.
Crash
The Error/Crash Report:
Assertion failed: (D->getCachedLinkage() == LV.getLinkage()), function
getLVForDecl, file
/Applications/buildAgent/work/92515a49514b3993/lldb/llvm/tools/clang/lib/AST/Decl.cpp,
line 1360.
Note that this crash occurs with LLDB v3.9.0 on Mac v10.12.4. But it does not occur with LLDB 3.7.0 on Mac 10.12.4.
Ultimately, I'm wanting to know if I'm doing something dumb in my project code? If not, is this a bug with CLion or LLDB? Is there somewhere that I should post this to help get the bug (if it is that) resolved?
That doesn't look like your bug. For some reason lldb is having trouble ingesting the type information produced by the compiler.
I don't have clion so I can't try that, but if I just build your test project, either with a PCH or without, using clang from Xcode 8.3 I don't see this crash. Best thing to do is to build this project with CLion, then make a dSYM (if CLion doesn't do this for you.) You do that by running:
> dsymutil TestingLLDBBreaking
Check that you can reproduce the crash with the dSYM, and if so then file a bug with http://bugreporter.apple.com with the executable and the .dSYM.
So I had the same problem for a while.
just before almost formatting my mac I've re-cloned the project to a different directory and ran it from there. No issues. (i'm sure its a mac-os thing).
Good luck :)

I have problems building an executable file for a simple disease-transmission model implemented in C++, using cmake under macOS Monterey (v12.6.1). When I build the executable file, I obtain the following error when I try running it:
dyld[5281]: symbol not found in flat namespace (_cblas_caxpy) Abort trap: 6
The problem persists when I try to use XCode (v14.0.1) instead, resulting in the same error message.
Interestingly, my friend is able to build (& run) the executable file under macOS v10.15.7 without any problems.
Does anybody know what is going on here and how this issue can be resolved? The C++ project is publicly available on GitHub: https://github.com/AnnaMariaL/DengueSim
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks!

tried: build an executable file with cmake, and Xcode under MacOS v12.16.1
expected: executable file
the program runs fine when launched under Xcode itself, but if I try to run the built executable from Xcode on the command line, that fails with the same error as for the CMake executable. So Xcode itself is, somehow, magically able to get this linker issue to resolve.
Your title/post is very confusing, however the issue isn't with cmake. It's with your cblas library and/or your linker. Look at the bug closely:
dyld[5281]: symbol not found in flat namespace (_cblas_caxpy) Abort trap: 6
Your linker is telling you that it can't find a function (symbol) in the given namespace. This is either due to the fact that your linker doesn't know where to find the correct library or you are linking against a wrong version of the library that doesn't have the symbols. The other issues might be related to how the library was built and with what it was built (architecture, compiler, etc...). This we can't answer because we don't have enough information to know for sure.
I'm working on a project in Xamarin.iOS, and it happens to go through a build server (running on a Mac).
The build seems to commonly fail, but even with the --verbose or -v it seems to Silently fail. For example, right now, it seems to fail after optimizing the graphics for iOS. The last line of the build says Build complete -- 0 errors, 0 warnings. But then I get a Build step 'Execute shell' marked build as failure from Jenkins. I know that this is a failure in the mdtool build, because I have had a successful build before, and I know there are several more steps before it actually succeeds.
The next step in the successful process should be Compiling to native code, but for some reason it fails before getting to that, or at least outputting it to the console.
Thanks in advance for the help!
There's a few places in the mdtool build logic that didn't properly catch exceptions when executing shell programs which I (hopefully) fixed for Xamarin Studio 4.0.2.
Without seeing the full build log it's hard to say for sure, but it might be that whatever shell command that it is trying to execute either doesn't exist or isn't marked with execute permissions.
The programs that I can think of off the top of my head that mdtool will invoke for the iOS builds are:
pngcrush (optimizes .png files)
plutil (optimizes .plist and .strings files)
codesign (although this one gets called after compiling to native code)
and of course, mtouch which is what is used to compile IL to native code. The mtouch command is part of Xamarin.iOS while the other 3 utilities are part of Mac OS X (or Xcode).
The solution for the other person with a similar problem that I helped debug a week or 2 ago was because he had modified his PATH environment that launchd launched apps with to not include /usr/bin and so mdtool couldn't find the utility programs listed above.
I'm not very familiar with Jenkins (I know we use it at Xamarin, but I'm not part of the team that does), so make sure that the PATH environment that it launches mdtool under is setup to include /usr/bin.
Hope that helps.
I've created a static library C++ project but when I compile I get the following error:
XCode 4.1 (Lion) doesn't show me any more information what's going wrong. I'm using clang.
How can I find out what went wrong?
I have read elsewhere, and confirmed myself, that the problem is that Xcode is suppressing the output from stdout.
As a work around, in Xcode, flip open the display of the commands being executed and copy and paste them into a Terminal session and run lib tool from there.
I have a XCode which builds and runs under XCode.
I would like to know if it is possible to debug it using a gdb I build under Mac OSX (gdb 7 to be specified). If yes, can you please tell me how can I do that?
Thank you.
gdb-7.0 reverse debugging currently can only work with two classes of targets:
1) a remote simulator/emulator/virtual-machine that supports going backwards, or
2) the built in "process record" target, which at present has only been ported to x86-linux, x86-64 linux, and moxie linux.
Well, now -- I take that back. I recently discovered that process record can work with any remote x86 target, so if you're connecting with your macintosh target via "target remote", you might just be able to do it!
There is an online tutorial for process record here:
http://www.sourceware.org/gdb/wiki/ProcessRecord/Tutorial
More info about process record here:
http://www.sourceware.org/gdb/wiki/ProcessRecord
And about gdb reverse debugging here:
http://www.sourceware.org/gdb/wiki/ReverseDebug
So you want to use your own version of gdb to debug your executable? Easy!
Open Terminal, and do something like this:
$ cd <directory where Xcode project lives>
$ cd build/Debug (for example - depends on project configuration)
$ /usr/local/bin/my-gdb ./MyExecutable
Of course, specifying the actual path to your custom gdb version.
XCode's debugger is gdb (likely with Apple-specific modifications.) When you debug an application you can get to the gdb command line by opening the Console from the Run menu.
What requirements are imposed on your application that would require you to debug with your own version of gdb?
I need to step through the Qt code to help solve a bug in my C++ application. I've downloaded qt-mac-opensource-src-4.5.2.tar from here and followed the install instructions that came with this:
unpacked the file to /tmp.
typed ./configure -debug.
typed make.
typed sudo make install.
edited the PATH environment variable as instructed.
set the DYLD_IMAGE_SUFFIX environment variable to _debug.
This installed Qt and my Qt application runs, but I still can't step into the Qt code.
I'm using Xcode 3.1.3 and tried changing the Executable Info to "use debug suffix when loading frameworks". This generated a lot of warnings like:
warning: Could not find object file "/private/tmp/qt-mac-opensource-src-4.5.2/src/corelib/.obj/debug-shared/qmalloc.o" - no debug information available for "global/qmalloc.cpp".
warning: Could not find object file "/private/tmp/qt-mac-opensource-src-4.5.2/src/corelib/.obj/debug-shared/qnumeric.o" - no debug information available for "global/qnumeric.cpp".
and also a lot of non-qt related warnings.
I'd shutdown the Macbook Pro overnight, which I can only assume clears the tmp directory as the unpacked file is no longer there.
I think I could fix it by rebuilding Qt without frameworks, but this is more of a work-around than a fix that will probably come back to bite me. I'm also a bit reluctant to do this, when each rebuild takes between 3 and 4 hours.
Alternatively, would downloading the binaries and debug libs work?
I'd be grateful for any suggestions on what I'm missing and how I address this.
Thanks.
With the help of Qt support, I've now resolved this.
There were a couple of issues:
The Qt debug "make install" doesn't currently generate dSYM files for the _debug stuff. They've raised a bug about this. To get round this:
4a. cd /usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-4.5.2/lib
4b. Type /usr/bin/dsymutil -o QtGui.framework/QtGui_debug.dSYM QtGui.framework/Versions/4/QtGui_debug
4c. Repeat for each Qt framework.
The tmp directory does indeed get wiped on each reboot. To get round this:
7- Copy the entire contents of /tmp/qt-mac-opensource-src-4.5.2 to a new directory ~/Qt .
I also added both the frameworks and source code to the Xcode project.
Have a look at this http://doc.trolltech.com/4.5/debug.html
There is a section especially for debugging under MacOSX and Xcode...
I guess you need to generate a makefile with debug option using qmake !
In OS X 10.6 and 10.6.1, setting DYLD_IMAGE_SUFFIX to _debug will cause problems. Hopefully this will be addressed by a future update of OS X 10.6.
