I've tried to debug a simple hello world program with gdb 7.4 on os x.
The program is built with -gc -debug -m64
(gdb) list
invalid dwarf2 offset 1594098948
When running the same executable in lldb I can list the source code when setting a breakpoint, but
no frame variables are showing (a separate issue).

For OSX, I think users should stop using GDB, as it is getting quite outdated and doesn't have any of the recent D support added to it.

Closing since OSX no longer ships with gdb and the problem was likely solved in the meantime anyhow.
Newer gdb versions should work, see e.g. https://www.patosai.com/posts/2015/03/24/installing-gdb-on-os-x-yosemite for how to install gdb instead of lldb.
Not sure how good the lldb support is.
