brew install gcc@8 Yeah this part confused me as well.

  had brew utterly let me down for gdb recently. had to compile from source and then code sign it. nightmare mode.

    That's not really brew's fault -- but perhaps they could streamline this process? OSX requires binaries to be signed to give them tracing/debugging privileges (or you can use root). It would be nice if Apple made this less painful -- or rather, if they stopped making native development increasingly more painful with every OS release.

      agreed. if it's anyone's fault, it's apple's. that's a helluva lot of friction to install a nigh-ubiquitous dev tool.

        > if it's anyone's fault, it's apple's. I'm quite glad random unsigned binaries don't have the right to unilaterally attach to (signed) processes, otherwise the signature would be moot.
