I have done this before but guess it’s useful to write this down

GDB Debugging with fork() and exec()

• set break points
• change follow-fork-mode to child

set follow-fork-mode child

To do this for exec do:

set follow-fork-mode child
set follow-fork-mode new

for lldb

b fork

// -w "wait for the process to launch" auto attach
// -n app: This option specifies the name of the proces to attach to
attach -w -n yourapp

process attach -n myapp -w

• lldb doesn’t work too well for me will have to do more research later
