So I thought I'd set a watchpoint on the pointer stored in my class.
Looking through the whole of the Xcode UI and the Xcode documentation
I can see no mention of watchpoints. So, after hitting a breakpoint in
my init routine, I set one up using the gdb console command 'watch
<expression>', then hit continue. At which point my Cocoa app just
freezes, and I'm unable to interrupt execution using the pause button
in Xcode. The only thing to do is to kill the process.
The most reliable way to work with watchpoints in gdb (on any platform)
is (in my experience):
p &<expression>
watch *(int*)<value printed as result of previous command>
Otherwise you get problems with variables going out of scope etc.
Change "(int*)" to whatever the type of the data you are watching.
