Hello Zrinka,
First, when these crashes occur, please fill out the comment field in
the Crash Reporter dialog that surfaces to articulate what you were
doing when the crash happened, and press the button to send the crash
log to Apple. We have technology that analyzes the crash logs sent in
via this mechanism that we use to determine issues in Apple software.
BTW: the Crash Reporter is a one way communications path ... We cannot
respond on crash log inputs as the analysis tools are fully automated.
Second, please file bugs using the information at
<http://developer.apple.com/bugreporter/>. Obviously you don't want to
file a dozen of the same bug, but if you file a bug on the problem,
save out a System Profiler report of the computer's configuration,
create an archive of that along with the crash log, and email the .zip
file to me along with the bug number. I will make sure that it goes
into the bug report for engineering to ponder. More information about
your configurations, both the stable one on the Titanium and the
unstable one on the G5, would help us isolate what your issues are and
improve Xcode's robustness for all.
We have been analyzing and working on the bugs reported. Stability
problems in Xcode are one of our very highest priorities to fix, the
latest engineering builds are showing significant improvements over
Xcode Tools 1.1. I would try turning predictive compilation and
CodeSense off to see if that reduces the frequency of crashing, then
turn them on individually to see if it's one or the other that is
pushing your configuration over the edge.
best,
Godfrey

Hello,
I have tried posting a message about Xcode crashing a few days ago but
it never made it to the list because I included the crash log, which
made the message too big. Anyway, below is the old email (minus the
log) and here is the update:
There is not much to say - Xcode crashes again, all the time. I
transferred the project to my titanium and Xcode works there fine. Not
one crash. I upgraded to Panther on titanium, I did not do a clean
install.
By the way, the computer I am having problems with Xcode on, is a
brand new dual G5. When I got it, I did not reinstall PAnther on it,
just upgraded to the latest version, and installed (from a cd) and
upgraded Xtools. Today, after Xcode started crashing again, I
reinstalled Panther and reinstalled everything clean. Noo luck, it
crashed on the first try (I did clean the targer and rebuilt again,
before trying to debug).
I have no idea what to do next. I had hoped that the crash log would
help someone out there help me figure out what is going on but
obviously I cannot include it. Any thoughts or ideas? Help...
thanks

Hello,
I am new to Xcode (and CW for that matter) and need all your help...
I am writing a relatively simple command line program using Xcode and
a few days ago I added a piece of code that handles some strings... I
have been debugging that part and Xcode started crashing non stop.
Now, it does not crash always (usually if I Clear and build it will
not crash on the very first debug - I don't know if that's
important...), and when it does crash it seems to be at random lines
of code (always within the same for loop because I am debugging it) I
am debugging because I know I have a bug (if I let it run in the
Terminal, it gives me an error - always at the same place). When the
debugger does not crash - I find the error at the same exact place.
It drives me completely nuts. I doublechecked my code and I don't
think I made some pointer error (even if I did - that should not
crash Xcode, right?) I even tried transferring the project to CW but
after spending much time on that I realized that CW 8.3 does not
really work on Panther (if you have any info on that I will welcome
it too).
Anyway, I don't know what to do next. I have looked in the crash log
but I cannot make sense of it. Hopefully someone out there will...
Thanks!!!!
