Darwin (Debugging with ROCGDB)

#### 22.1.6 Darwin

ROCGDB provides the following commands specific to the Darwin target:

`set debug darwin num`

  When set to a non zero value, enables debugging messages specific to the Darwin support. Higher values produce more verbose output.

`show debug darwin`

  Show the current state of Darwin messages.

`set debug mach-o num`

  When set to a non zero value, enables debugging messages while ROCGDB is reading Darwin object files. (Mach-O is the file format used on Darwin for object and executable files.) Higher values produce more verbose output. This is a command to diagnose problems internal to ROCGDB and should not be needed in normal usage.

`show debug mach-o`

  Show the current state of Mach-O file messages.

`set mach-exceptions on`
`set mach-exceptions off`

  On Darwin, faults are first reported as a Mach exception and are then mapped to a Posix signal. Use this command to turn on trapping of Mach exceptions in the inferior. This might be sometimes useful to better understand the cause of a fault. The default is off.

`show mach-exceptions`

  Show the current state of exceptions trapping.
