[lldb-dev] Can't debug with a -g compiled binary as a non-root user on OS X 10.11 El Capitan

[Todd Fiala via lldb-dev]

Hi Tony,

This is the right list.

Are you using an LLDB that you built locally?  If so, can you move aside
the debugserver that you find somewhere under in your LLDB.framework bundle
directory, and make a symlink to the debugserver that comes out of your
/Applications/Xcode.app bundle?  Your official Xcode.app one should be in a
location like:
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/SharedFrameworks/LLDB.framework/Versions/A/Resources/debugserver

The other thing it could be is that I think your lldb_codesign cert may
need to be recreated on a new OS.  I seem to recall the instructions there
indicate the code signing cert does not survive OS updates but I might be
mistaken.

I suspect the symlink will resolve your issue, though.  With tighter
security, it is likely that a home-built debugserver is no longer going to
work without being Apple signed.  We may need to adjust the Xcode build to
create a symlink to the official one if that's the case.
