Brad,

Often this happens because some files end up getting built without debug information. So first thing is to check that.

One really quick way is to find your binary (e.g. for an App the binary is the file with the same name as the app in Contents/MacOS in your App Wrapper) and do:

nm -ap <Your Binary> | grep "SO " > /tmp/source-stabs.txt

then look in source-stabs.txt for the filename that isn't getting found in the source display. If you see a record with the filename in question, then you know that there is debug info for that file. Then we can try to figure out why the debugger isn't finding it.

If there isn't then somehow that file got built without debug info, and we can try to figure out how that might have happened...

Jim

I've got a rather unusual issue with XCode 1.5, and it's driving me absolutely batty. In many cases, XCode is not displaying the source for my app when running through the debugger. This is a C++ app, if that makes any difference. I've installed XCode on a brand-new G5 that didn't previously have the developer tools installed, running 10.3.4.

At one point, I trashed the "build" directory, did a Clean All and then rebuilt the app and got a source display for one of the troublesome files in question. But since then, I have not had any luck getting the source to show up again in the debugger. For 50% of the routines I stop in, I'm looking at just the PPC display.

The routines are, as I mentioned before, C++ methods and none of them are inlined. I'm starting to wonder if perhaps it's a name-mangling issue and XCode is having trouble associating the name with the proper source.

If there's any more information I can provide, let me know. I'd love to resolve this, as it's making debugging in XCode for this project virtually useless right now.
