And you are asking in a *linux* newsgroup because?

Linux is a kind unix right?

Yes.

gdb is a linux program right?

Not at all. Gdb is a debugger that works on Linux and many other OSes.
Gdb predates Linux by a couple of years: gdb version 3.1 was released
in 1989.

At least it's widely used on linux, right?

Correct.

Perhaps you don't use gdb in linux, but

Oh, I do use it on Linux (and elsewhere) every day.

My point was that gdb (and any other portable debugger) necessarily
has many OS-specific parts, and if something works on Linux, it
doesn't at all mean that the same thing will work on Mac OS.

So, if I'm doing linux or unix programming and use
gdb to debug my program, where else do you think I should ask?

If you are doing Linux programming, you should ask here.

If gdb doesn't work on Mac OS, you should ask in the Mac OS group,
probably in the comp.sys.mac.*
