Comment (by egall@…):

 Replying to [comment:9 jeremyhu@…]:
 > Why do you need gdb?  I'd rather just remove the project instead as it
 is not nearly as helpful as lldb these days.

 For me at least I prefer gdb for political reasons (it's "free-er" than
 lldb is), and because I'm more familiar with it, and because it's not
 written in C++ like lldb is. Plus also lldb doesn't have a port for it yet
 (as seen in #45251 for example). Now I can see maybe removing the gdb-
 apple port if the upstream FSF gdb project merged all of Apple's changes
 into their trunk, but given that I've been working for over a year on that
 (in my own fork) with little progress, I doubt it will happen any time
 soon...
