[Mono-list] Using GDB with C#

[Rodrigo Kumpera]

GDB is not  capable of debuging managed code since you need to way it to be
compiled before actually setting a breakpoint. I set breakpoints at the
magic_trampoline and mono_jit_compile_method, I debug the assembly of it
then. This approach, of course, only suits if you need to debug a runtime
related issue.

For application code you should use MDB
