[Mono-dev] Compiling Mono with debug symbols to diagnose an issue with embedded Mono 4.0.2.5

[Jean-Michel.Perraud at csiro.au]

I am trying to debug C code, mostly to step through the mono runtime itself. The issue seems to arise really quickly and I do not expect c# code (mine or the framework's) to be at fault here. That said, I would not at all refuse a howto guide for mixed mode (C and C#) debugging on Linux (not possible so far as I know). I may try to give a try on Windows with Visual Studio, but as a fallback option as this issue may not be reproducible on it anyway.

I would second this.

I can already attach  MonoDevelop to the R process and catch the crash, but the call stack is devoid of info and reference to the source code (presumably lacking the former debug symbols?)

Are you trying to debug the managed code or the embedded C API?
