I got a pretty grim report on GDB and C++ debugging in the previous
post from Mr. Tregaskis. Not that I doubt him, but I hope to ask the
question of a broader audience. Should I even bother trying to develop
a fairly complex generic c++ project in Xcode with GDB?
I have worked without a debugger (like back before there were
debuggers, iirc), and I've worked with a debugger, and life is better
with a debugger. I don't think I can afford to sacrifice the
productivity if GDB truly can't support c++ debugging in some fashion.
I don't need fancy features, (e.g. CW breakpoints by template
instance), but if I can't step through templatized classes and inspect
local variables, I think I have to give up on Xcode.
It looks like its going to be quite a bit of work to get enough of my
code ported into Xcode to even test this proposition, so if the cause
is truly hopeless, I would appreciate knowing before I dump much more
time into it.
Any opinions welcome... (sure, tell me that real programmers don't need
debuggers...I can take it!)
Andy
