These are from the target. The blank ones were not bold, so I guess they were the default. Here's the actual values:

ZERO_LINK = NO
SECTORDER_FLAGS =
DEAD_CODE_STRIPPING = NO
COPY_PHASE_STRIP = NO
GCC_GENERATE_DEBUGGING_SYMBOLS = YES
GCC_DEBUGGING_SYMBOLS = default
GCC_OPTIMIZATION_LEVEL = 0

So, no "dead code stripping" w/o -gfull. I'll see if I can get the stuff below for you.

Thanks
Glen

<incomplete type> is the error that results when "something has gone wrong and gdb can't figure out what the type of variable x is". There are many possible causes, and there's unlikely to be one workaround.

One common cause is that you turned on "dead code stripping" but not -gfull. That can cause corruption in the debug info.

I actually can't tell from the build settings below whether this is the case. I think you need to cut & paste them from the target not the project? Anyway, if GCC_DEBUGGING_SYMBOLS really were "", then you wouldn't get as far as <incomplete type> so those can't be the whole story...

Anyway, if you can file a bug on it, that would be really helpful. I have no way to tell what's going on or fix it without more information.... To analyze the problem I need to get my hands on a debug version of your project, the XCode-gdb transcript of a run that got you to the point where you saw the <incomplete type> error, and instructions on what I had to do with your app to get it to that point.

I don't need sources or the Xcode project, just the debug executable/framework/whatever... If your company is okay with making that available, then please do file a bug with the information mentioned above, and I will look into it.

OK, is there a workaround for <incomplete type> showing up in the debugger? This is showing up for a local variable of type CFStringRef, not something odd and exotic. Here's the relevant build settings (being able to select multiple and copy is quite cool, btw):

ZERO_LINK =
SECTORDER_FLAGS =
DEAD_CODE_STRIPPING =
COPY_PHASE_STRIP = NO
GCC_GENERATE_DEBUGGING_SYMBOLS =
GCC_DEBUGGING_SYMBOLS =
GCC_OPTIMIZATION_LEVEL = 0

Thanks,
Glen Simmons
