I'm in the process of trying to track down an error in how my object
graph is being updated, and would like to be able to visualize the
current state of the graph at all times. The debugger in XCode
allows me to either a) view the current state of the variables of my
structs using the default format or b) create a custom formatter that
only displays text. I would rather use GraphViz to display a
graphical rendering of what my object graph is like as I'm stepping
thru my code, but this requires knowledge of the current state of the
machine at each step. This is EXACTLY what GDB (and therefore XCode)
are doing every single step of the way. So my question is, how do I
query XCode for all the relevant information? Am I even able to
this? In my idealized view of the world, XCode would have a CoreData
data store defined that is updated every time I step the debugger,
which would allow me to implement a KVO based plugin that called
GraphViz to present a view of the current state of my object graph.
I don't see that though... and I'm all ears for suggestions! My
current process is to use LOTS of printf() statements to a log file,
and then postprocess the file into something that GraphViz can handle.
Thanks,
Cem Karan
