This sounds like a case where the functions that the debugger is calling to implement its data formatters are deadlocking against another thread in your program. Try turning off the data formatters and see if that works. Also, if you will sample the app you are debugging (you may need to do "sudo sample") and get the Xcode-gdb log for the session (you can now turn this on in the Debugging pane of the Xcode Preferences) and file a bug with these two bits of information, we can probably figure out what's going on.

Hi,

I'm trying to get an app under development working under Leopard, and the debugger is proving almost useless. There's plenty of room to believe that I'm doing something wrong, so I'll post my observations and see what shakes out:

- Often, when the debugger stops at a breakpoint, the call stack is displayed, but the variable pane is blank.

- Often, single-stepping sends the app and the debugger into limbo; I never reach the next line, and about all I can do is terminate the app and start over.

- Almost always, threads other than the main thread can't be examined. As soon as I switch to another thread, the debugger display stops updating, and even the console window is non-responsive.

Maybe these are all related, and/or there's some setup I'm missing.

Any advice welcome.

TIA,
Doug K;
