I'm not sure if this is your problem or not, but we found that the Mac OS X update from 10.12.0 to 10.12.1 broke TotalView. The root cause of the problem was security related. In Mac OS X 10.12.1, when a process calls execve() (as is done when a debugger launches a target application), Darwin changes the Mach task and thread ports, and the debugger is now required to use the new ports after it receives the execve() exception event from the operating system. The latest release of TotalView (TotalView 2016.07) support Sierra and its various updates, and it's a parallel debugger designed to with MPICH, Open MPI, and other MPIs. See: http://www.roguewave.com/products-services/totalview/whats-new Hope this helps. Cheers, John D. On 12/07/16 12:39, Burlen Loring wrote:
after upgrading to osx sierra and latest xcode some of my regression tests crash in MPI calls, that's as far as I've got as MPI init seems to fail when run in the debugger. See below. Can any one advise how to run the program in the debugger on osx sierrra?
