How setup debugging with LLDB and Eclipse Photon under macOS 10.13.5 [message #1792013]

I have installed Eclipse Photon on MacOS High Sierra but I cannot figure out how to get debugging working with LLDB. LLDB is installed on MacOS with Xcode and I would like to use it. With Eclipse Oxygen there was an add-on for LLDB integration but I cannot find anything similar for Photon.

So how is everyone debugging C / C++ programs on the Mac?

I have the same problem, and cannot get dbg to work either, which seems to be common as indicated here:

https://www.thomasvitale.com/how-to-setup-gdb-and-eclipse-to-debug-c-files-on-macos-sierra/

I'm willing to downgrade to Oxygen if I can find the plug-in for lldb, but I can't find it. Can someone send a URL?

Also, it's kind of unbelievable that this thread has got no replies. Is NO ONE doing Eclipse development on Mac native?

I no longer have Oxygen, but I believe it was one of the add-in options...no special URL needed. Try Help / Install New Software. Select All Available Sites, then search for LLDB. That's all I can remember.

After posting, I found where to find the plug-in, then I discovered it DOES exist for Photon, and it seems to be working for me!

Could you please provide a few more details? What did you install and where did you get it? What did you have to do to get it to work?

I have installed this....

C/C++ LLDB Debugger Integration (experimental) 9.4.3.201802261533 org.eclipse.cdt.llvm.dsf.lldb.feature.group

But I can't get it to work.

Good news is that I found it here:

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

Bad news is that it seems to be pretty broken - at least it is for what I've written. I quickly got into a situation where I couldn't drill down into a class instance properly.

I would install gdb but that is apparently a PITA under High Sierra due to security features.
