It seems like there are plenty of people with the debugger becoming unresponsive at the moment, but nobody I found seems to have the same exact symptoms as me:

OS X 10.6.6

I can launch the debugger OK, and drill into files just fine, but as soon as you drill into an stl lib, nothing works anymore. The options to step in and out are still there but they do nothing. No variables can be inspected and are just greyed out. There is nothing in the error logs.

This is really annoying because I quite often after to drill in and out of stl lib to trace a crash or two.

Can anyone help, are there any 'other' logs that I could check to see what the problem might be?

PS, I have not updated anything for a few months, and it happens on any project including very simple fresh projects. This problem appeared out the blue a few days ago.

My guess is that CDT is sending a command that Apple's GDB doesn't understand and GDB doesn't give an error.

Can you reproduce the problem in a simple project? There is a way to see the commands sent to GDB. When you are debugging, in the Console view, there is a button to switch the console page (it looks like a screen), you should see gdb traces in the list.

In the console, look for starting with
-var-create
It should be followed by a ^done
But even if that looks right, it might be any other command failing.

I'll see if I can reproduce this but if you have a simple project for me to try that should accelerate the process of fixing the problem. If not, maybe you could copy-paste the whole gdb traces and we can try to figure out what is failing.
