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

I'll amplify what @Jean-Michel.Perraud said: a "howto guide for mixed mode
(C and C#) debugging on Linux" is absolutely essential for any serious
development effort.

That's because the apparent lack of debugging capability really slows
development for projects using mono.

For an idea of what would really make mono a serious contender, note that
Visual Studio on Windows debugs C++/CLI and C# seamlessly back and forth
across the language boundary.

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?
