I am trying to use the gdb debugger on Pleiades to debug GCHP, specifically to set a breakpoint and halt execution at a specific line in the code. However, I have not been successful so far.

I compile the code using the -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug option (with cmake), but when I set a breakpoint in gdb, the program crashes upon execution. Is there an additional compilation flag or debugging option that I need to enable?

Additionally, I am unable to run GCHP on a single CPU, which would be helpful for debugging. Any suggestions on how to achieve this would be greatly appreciated.

Hi @kaysuselj, we have not used GCHP with the gdb debugger before. @mathomp4, does GEOS work with gdb? If yes, do you build with certain settings?

To answer your question about single CPU, it is not possible to run GCHP with fewer than 6 cores. This is because each of the 6 cubed sphere faces must have at least one core.
