            Bug ID: 23364
           Summary: macOS can't startup with shell
           Product: gdb
           Version: HEAD
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: cli
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: tromey at sourceware dot org
  Target Milestone: ---

Recent versions of macOS support SIP ("system integrity protection")
which prevents gdb from attaching to certain executables -- one of
those being the shell.

So, currently macOS users have to "set startup-with-shell off".

It would be friendlier, though, for gdb to emulate the shell somehow,
so that globbing, substitutions, and redirections still work.
