Unable to debug on El Capitan [message #1782368]

I am unable to debug anything within Eclipse: launch stops at 96%, app stops responding, before that "Step into" and other buttons were inactive.
I defined a path to gdb (8.0), then I had some troubles with .gdbinit.

I was unable to follow the instructions to create that file:
http://wiki.eclipse.org/CDT/User/FAQ#What_is_the_CDT.3F
Because of other known error: "ImportError: No module named libstdcxx.v6.printers"
So I created it myself with the following content: "set startup-with-shell off", as it was advised on apple forum.

Mac OS X 10.11.6
Eclipse Version: Oxygen.2 Release (4.7.2)
Eclipse C/C++ Development Tools Version: 9.4.2.201802122019
GNU gdb (GDB) 8.0

Now Eclipse just stop responding few seconds after pushing "bug" button, and showing that Launching is at 99%. I restarted the system couple of times, tried to update it.

I need some help with that!

Thank you in advance!

Not sure if this is your issue,
but sometimes the debugger seems to hang when it tries to read your variable values for display,

It's caused by a very deep structure.
It is particularly bad with STL sets that are uninitialized as they often report a large number of bogus entries.

If this is the case, placing the first breakpoint at a point where everything is initialized will circumvent this.

Also, never step into any code that has deep structures.
Another workaround is to not use the Variables view in the debugger but use the Expressions view instead.

Probably you have been bitten by Apple's change of compiler toolchain.
Google for 'gcc debug os x el capitan'.
