Debugging with Gdb, breakpoints not working

Help
1

I’m trying to get gdb to break on a particular function in a very simple C program. It allows me to place breakpoints, but it’s never hitting them. I can’t figure out why.

#include <stdio.h>

void hello()
{
	printf("Hello\n");
}

int main(void)
{
	hello();
}

Here is my nix-shell file:

{ pkgs ? import <nixpkgs> {} }:
pkgs.mkShell {
  hardeningDisable = [ "all" ];
  NIX_CFLAGS_COMPILE = [ "-ggdb" ];
  dontStrip = true;
  enableDebugging = true;
  packages = with pkgs; [
    gcc
    gdb
    file
  ];
}

When I compile and debug my program, it never breaks at the proper function.

$ gcc main.c -ggdb -o main
$ file main
main: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, interpreter /nix/store/qjgj2642srlbr59wwdihnn66sw97ming-glibc-2.33-123/lib/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2, for GNU/Linux 2.6.32, with debug_info, not stripped

$ gdb main

I’m not sure why it isn’t breaking properly. Can anyone explain?
For the record I’m running the 22.05 channel.

I figured it out …

I was using an oh-my-zsh plugin that let me use zsh inside my nix-shell.
For some reason this was forking off a subprocess that actually ran my code.
I don’t know why, but disabling the plugin made everything work.
