Re: Phantom / Sticky or Invisible Breakpoints

I have been trying to find Xcode workarounds for the here-and-now, short of always rebuilding the project. The one thing that still bothers me are phantom breakpoints. This means the debugger thinks there is a breakpoint but none appears in the breakpoint window. I think this happens because you delete code where a real breakpoint used to be. For whatever reason, the breakpoint fails to die, but now there is no way to get rid of it. At least short of rebuilding the project. Does anybody know where these breakpoints are cached?

has anyone else noticed an issue with xcode when a breakpoint won't go away? ie, it's not even listed as a breakpoint, but for some reason the program always stops there. I'm trying to decide whether to file a bug.



I have noticed this problem with the debugger in Xcode v 1.5 stopping on otherwise invisible breakpoints. I have just filed a bug report on this issue, #3981520.

The work around for this is fairly simple. Open the debugger console and when the debugger has stopped on an otherwise invisible breakpoint, type in "clear" after the "(gdb)" prompt and hit <enter/return>. That should remove the problem and you can check on status of all breakpoints by typing "info breakpoints" at the "(gdb)" prompt. Note, that the debugger apparently has to be stopped for this console commands to be executed.
