Dmitriy,
due to permissions and the various limitations on passing environment variables
across processes it is often easier to simply run R and attach the debugger to
it:
$ R

Sys.getpid()
[1] 89955
$ sudo lldb
Password:
(lldb) attach 89955

(lldb) c
Process 89955 resuming
On Catalina I can do that for a version of R I compiled, but not for a
notarized binary distribution (which also refuses to be run under a
debugger). The lldb error message is maximally uninformative:
(lldb) attach 16682
error: attach failed: Error 1
or
(lldb) run
error: process exited with status -1 (Error 1)
I presume that is intentional on Apple's part and there is no way round
it other than weakening security (e.g. disable SIP)?
My memory was that it did work on High Sierra (I sometimes use it to
investigate packages which segfault under your distribution but not with
my builds) and I have just re-checked there with the CRAN distribution
of 4.0.2.
