You may try to attach to your proces using the Xcode menu Debug > Attach To Process… (instead of using a dummy exec)
I don't think it will change anything, but Xcode may tell gdb to load the libraries.

Jim,

Thanks for pointing this out. Yes, Load Symbols Lazily" is off. When attaching to the process, gdb does seem to load symbols. But trying to set any additional breakpoint tells me that no symbol table is loaded… Weird. Any other idea?

Did you try turning off "Load Symbols Lazily" in the Debugging Pref pane?

I'm trying to debug a JNI plugin here. I use Eclipse for Java Rich Client Platform development and Xcode for the C/C++ JNI stuff. I can do the following: start debugging in Java, break on the first line of main(), go to a terminal, and type

$ gdb
...
(gdb) attach <javaprocesspid>

Then I can set breakpoints on the command line successfully, but I don't want to go through this terminal debugger. Therefore I set up a dummy executable in my Xcode project, uncheck "Start executable after starting debugger", start a debug session, and try to attach to the paused Java code. I can successfully attach, but if I then list my breakpoints with

(gdb) info break

I can see that they are all pending. I also cannot add any other, including the exact ones that I could add on the terminal gdb I used before.

How can I fix this? What does Xcode do to gdb such that it cannot find my breakpoints?

TIA,
J.P.
