decoding dwarf section info at offset 0x0: too s

Answer 1

For my Mac the problem is related to the dlv package as installed by Golang plugin.

• Install delv and,
• check the path of dlv as executed by IntelliJ (in the console).

Go to this directory

($HOME//Library/Application Support/IntelliJIdea2017.3/intellij-go/lib/dlv/mac) 

• and rename dlv to any other name. Get the right dlv executable by using

  which dlv (/usr/local/Cellar/go/1.11.1/libexec/bin/dlv for my computer) 
  

• and add a symbolic link

  (ln -s /usr/local/Cellar/go/1.11.1/libexec/bin/dlv dlv).
