Specifically, with the bug you reported, you would need to figure out why the global current_thread_ is nullptr at the point inferior_thread is called. In fact, all this happens before you tried to run anything, so it's expected that there is no current thread: there are no threads at all yet. So, try to get a backtrace so we at least know which inferior_thread call that is. You can try to attach a working GDB to the broken GDB while it's at the "would you like to create a core dump" question. If GDB is too broken, you can try lldb, whatever works. Once we have that, we figure out a solution :). Simon
