To avoid the need to explicitly list every dependency in <code>environment.systemPackages</code> to have its debug output available, you can use [https://github.com/edolstra/dwarffs dwarffs]. It will create a virtual file system where gdb will be able to look for separate debug symbols for packages on-demand. The downside is that it might increase gdb start up time significantly. | To avoid the need to explicitly list every dependency in <code>environment.systemPackages</code> to have its debug output available, you can use [https://github.com/edolstra/dwarffs dwarffs].

[https://github.com/symphorien/nixseparatedebuginfod nixseparatedebuginfod] is a debuginfod server that can download the relevant debug outputs and source files as needed by debuginfod-capable tools. Compared to dwarffs, it does not require root access, and handles debug outputs of derivations not built by hydra (eg locally or on a custom binary cache) and source files. Gdb is built with support for debuginfod, and valgrind has support if you additionally install the bin output of elfutils. | |||
