So it seems that a common solution to the breakpoints-not-working-
correctly-in-Xcode problem is to fix the line endings in source
files.
I imagine that there is a way to perform this procedure on all my
source files (recursively, searching in directories) with some
command-line magic. I'm not very proficient in this sort of thing
-- can any CLI wizards out there tell me how to fix my files?
There are probably editors out there (e.g., BBEdit) that can
handle this as well, but for the GUI-challenged (which includes
me :-}), there is the 'tr' command ("translate"). The simplest
way to do what you want, on a single file, is:
tr "\015" "\012" < yourinputfile > youroutputfile
mv youroutputfile yourinputfile
which translates all "CR" characters in 'yourinputfile' to "NL"
characters and writes the output to 'youroutputfile'; you then
"rename" the latter to be the former (should you want to overwrite
your original file).
I think the above will not work so good on files with DOS line
endings. You'll get double CR's or double LF's depending on which
way you go...
Correct.
However, 'tr' can still assist. Instead of the direct translation,
you can map the "CR-NL" sequence to "NL" by using
tr -d "\015"
in place of the above. This merely deletes the "CR", leaving you
with the "NL" (assuming that you don't have any '\015' characters in
the file that should remain, of course :-}).
