Hi,
I'm a maintainer of Delve [1] a debugger for the Go [2] programming language.
On macOS we are using debugserver as our backend and starting with a recent
update of the Command Line Tools our users are reporting a systematic crash of
debugserver [3][4], specifically:
Assertion failed: (bytes_written == size), function GetRegisterContext, file
/Library/Caches/com.apple.xbs/Sources/lldb/lldb-902.0.79.2/tools/debugserver/source/MacOSX/x86_64/DNBArchImplX86_64.cpp,
line 2689.
This happens in response to us sending the g command for the first time. To me
this sounds like a bug in debugserver.
