It must be what was reported here: http://eclip.se/509737 GDB 7.12 freezes at 62% on Mac using new console
It turns out to be a special (possibly buggy) behaviour of Mac OS when using the full GDB console. It seems GDB cannot answer on the dedicated MI channel until CDT has created the full console, but CDT waits for an MI answer before creating the console. And we are stuck.
On Linux, the MI channel is functional right away, even before the full console is created by CDT.
We've disabled the full console on Mac for CDT 9.2.1 due in March (although we can do an earlier release if needed). But you can fix it yourself easily right away in your plugins by overriding
GDBBackend_7_12#isFullGdbConsoleSupported()
with something like
@Override
public boolean isFullGdbConsoleSupported() {
if (Platform.getOS().equals(Platform.OS_MACOSX)) return false;
return super.isFullGdbConsoleSupported();
}
MI communication, which is necessary when using the full console,
or else we cannot interrupt the inferior. So, we will need to keep
the full console disabled on Mac until GDB support MI async on Mac.
Let us know if that fixes things for you.

(apart from the non-functioning step/halt) On my Mac environment, none of the debug plug-ins are able to start arm-none-eabi-gdb 7.12 (from GCC 6.2); windows & linux seem ok. arm-none-eabi-gdb 7.10 is ok. The GDB process quits right after starting, the GDB trace windows shows only: 058,589 2-gdb-show language 058,591 2^done,value="auto" 058,592 (gdb) 058,596 3-data-evaluate-_expression_ "sizeof (void*)" 058,599 3^done,value="4" 058,599 (gdb) 058,602 4-gdb-set language auto The GDB console is empty. I planned to further investigate next week, but any suggestions will be appreciated.
