Use the standard Xcode trick to swap out running executables from
under the Xcode (1.5) debugger:
1) Build your tool in Xcode.
2) Find the Executable that your target is going to run, and do
Command-I
3) Go to the Debugging tab in the Info panel, and uncheck "Start
executable after starting debugger"
4) Debug
5) In Terminal, launch your executable
6) In a separate Terminal window, use ps -axwww to find the PID of
the process
6) Back in Xcode's debugger's gdb console, type "attach <PID>"
To make this a little bit easier, replace the last two steps with this:
6) Back in Xcode's debugger's gdb console, type "attach <name of your
application>"
As long as you don't have multiple processes running with that name,
this'll work. Oh, and gdb does tab expansion on the application name,
so you usually just have to type the first few characters and hit tab.
Tab completion doesn't work in the Xcode console yet, sadly. Tab
completion is on our list of things to do (I have already added the
necessary support on the gdb side). But it isn't all wired up yet.
Still, Eric is right, if there is only one instance of the app running,
you can use the name rather than the PID.
