Same here - I don't know what's happened to Stabs, but I've had all
sorts of problems with it recently (I'm sure it didn't used to be this
bad...). Switching over to Dwarf seems to have fixed 90% of our
debugging troubles

I had some problems similar to this when debugging a project that
used different formats for the debug symbols - the frameworks the
project was using were built with Stabs debugging info while the
project was using DWARF. I couldn't load much, if any source code
for the frameworks while debugging and stepping through things often
resulted in the behavior you mention. The solution was to build the
frameworks with DWARF debug symbols as well to match the project (I
probably could have modified the project to use Stabs as well). The
framework I was using is Qt.
So it could be a problem of different debug symbol formats mixed in
your project that causes the debugger to get confused.

Hi,
I'm trying to get an app under development working under Leopard,
and the debugger is proving almost useless. There's plenty of room
to believe that I'm doing something wrong, so I'll post my
observations and see what shakes out:
- Often, when the debugger stops at a breakpoint, the call stack is
displayed, but the variable pane is blank.
- Often, single-stepping sends the app and the debugger into limbo;
I never reach the next line, and about all I can do is terminate
the app and start over.
- Almost always, threads other than the main thread can't be
examined. As soon as I switch to another thread, the debugger
display stops updating, and even the console window is non-
responsive.
Maybe these are all related, and/or there's some setup I'm missing.
Any advice welcome.
TIA,
Doug K;
