Debugging with gdb [message #1798486]

On my Mac, I had OS Sierra installed and debugging was working without any problems. After upgrade to Mojave (10.14.1), debugging with gdb was not possible anymore.
Fortunately, I found the following link in the community:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/52529838/gdb-8-2-cant-recognized-executable-file-on-macos-mojave-10-14

But with this, the task is not completed, because from Eclipse CDT, gdb must be started as a su under root.
Anybody knows how to do that ????

I'm in exactly the same boat. Does anyone on this forum actually do native Mac development in Eclipse?

I'm incredibly frustrated with this because Xcode is a terrible IDE for serious C++ work. But I don't want to work in Windows for various reasons. I've tried CLion but it isn't free and it also isn't that great.

I've tried LLVM adapters but they don't support STL debugging. I've spent hours trying to get gdb to work only to encounter this.

Seriously? We have to recompile gdb to get native mode debugging to work on Mac OS?

I just don't get it. Were it not for this, the Mac and Eclipse would be the best place to do C++ dev, at least the kind I'm doing. Eclipse has a learning curve, but I've found nothing better. But I must be fairly alone in that point of view.
