Ian,

Thank you for your message.

The control buttons are what you said. I'm using Xcode v1.5.
I ironically used the word "by mistake". Only "Stop" button does work immediately.


Most of time I got "Error from Debugger:..." message in the message area.
What makes the error? I wish I could know not only the message but also the actual cause.
Although I don't like using Terminal, it seems like no one can help it.
I'll try to use GDB commands from Terminal.


And let me thank you again for kindly telling me some useful commands.

Norio

Norio,

I must admit that I am not an Apple employee. Anyway, what do you mean by control buttons? Things like the "Stop" button and "Step" button? Am I right in thinking that they're slow when you push them on purpose, not just when you push them by mistake? What version of XCode are you using? I haven't had this problem.

If for some reason you can't make it work, try using GDB from Terminal. It's a little more awkward, but not too bad, once you figure out the major commands. "bt" is backtrace, "n" is next, or step over, "s" is step into, "finish" is step out of, "kill" quits, "run" starts, "list" shows the code you are currently running, and you can use "print <expression>" to extract all sorts of info. Type "help break" while in GDB to find out how to set a breakpoint.

To Apple Xcode guys,

I feel much stress on debugging. I have to look at the spinning cursor all the time when I press some control buttons on the window by mistake. However who can debug without pressing any control buttons? Even if I turn Enable Data Formatters off, Debugger does the same behavior.

Is there any way to debug efficiently using UI?
I no longer want to spend my time to do something else while spinning the cursor.


Thank you,
Norio Ota
