Hi Jim,
Well, you solved it.!

The problem was, as you suggested, the template build, which I changed to "Debug" and everything I looked for was there, under the name of the executable.
So, I assume this is now what one sees, instead of "main" in 2.5?
Thank you so much.
Michael.

Michael,

The globals window only shows global variables for the currently selected library (selected in the library pane on the LHS of the window.) The search box only searches for the globals in the currently selected library as well.

So I think the step you are missing is to click on your executable in the LHS list - if you did "New Project" and made a "standard tool" the name of your executable will be the same as the name you chose for the project. Do you not see that name in this list?

Also, with some "New Project" templates, the default build configuration is Release. Make sure you switch this to the Debug target.

Hi Jim,
Thanks for answering.
Well...as a relative novice, I am not sure if it is indeed a bug.
May I describe a very simple project, and perhaps this might explain it?



>>>>

#include <stdio.h>
char buffer[20];
int i;


int main (int argc, const char * argv[]) { /******/ return 0; }

<<<<<<<

In the prior version of Xcode, I was able to follow "buffer" in the debugger. Now, I cannot find it.

Have tried the following.

In the debugger viewer window, it does not show up under the "variables" column.
In the "Globals Browser" I do not see "main" in the Library column, nor do I find "buffer" if I search for it suing the Globals Browser Search field.


Having said that, perhaps there is still something that I am not doing...which is high on my possible lists...before I think this is a bug?

Thanks again in advance.

Michael ( de Haan)

The globals browser is for variables which have global scope in your module. If by "main" you mean the entry point for your project, that's a function and so would not show up in the globals window. If not, please file a bug with your example, what you expect to see and what you actually see and we will check it out.

Thanks,

Jim

I posted an earlier query, but I think I was just too vague and was not too sure what the problem really was. So, I think I may be a little closer to defining the problem.
Using "Standard Tool" in Xcode 3.0, I am not able to see "main" in the globals browser, where, I am assuming, the variables that I am trying to watch, are placed.
Could anyone enlighten me as to what it is, if anything, is the issue.
Thank you again.
