Could people asking questions (Pierre in this case) please INCLUDE THE RELEVANT DETAILS of what they're asking about in the original post, so we don't have to play guessing games? In this thread it took five messages, three from the original poster, to reveal the crucial fact that this is about the debugger, not the compiler.
I don't know how many thousand people read this list, but that's a lot of person-hours wasted reading through the thread. (Which shouldn't even have been asked on this list; it properly belongs on xcode-users.)
I don't mean to pick on you in particular, Pierre; lots of people make this mistake and this time it just happened to trigger the flame-bot.
