"Load Symbols Lazily" works when Xcode can tell into what build product the source file you are clicking to set your breakpoint in will go. Ouch, that was an awkward sentence - but I think grammatical...

Sometimes the way the project gets set up can fool us, however. In that case, you need to turn the "lazy symbol loading" off. For instance if you build with a Makefile and are just using the Xcode project for convenience, we have no idea where the source files go, and in that case you will have to disable the lazy symbol loading optimization. But if it is not something obvious like this, we would like to have a look at your project to see why we didn't track this correctly.

So if you can give us your project, or some simpler one similarly constructed that also shows the symptoms you are seeing, that would be great. Even if you can't do that, file a bug and include the Xcode/ gdb log in the bug. To generate that, turn on logging in the Debugging tab of the Xcode Preferences, and rerun your debugging session.

Thanks,

Jim

Thank you so much! I spent two days trying to figure out how to get the debugger to work after downloading the iphone developer kit and joined this list for help on this problem! I hope a bug is filed on this problem.

Hello Dianel,

I have intermittently had trouble with adding debugger break points to my ObjC code in XCode. Sometimes, the breakpoints turn yellow and the debugger will not stop at them. I cannot discern a pattern to this behavior. What is happening? It's DEFINITELY not something I'm telling XCode to do; It seem to occur without any provocation such as choosing menu items. Quitting and restarting XCode does not fix the problem, but sometimes pausing the execution, turning off then turning on break points allows the debugger to work normally. Thanks in advance for your help. I'm sure it's something simple, but I'm totally stumped.

That's something I also encountered; the solution I found is to NOT "load symbols lazily".

In Xcode Preferences | Debugging | Symbol Loading Options | uncheck Load symbols lazily

In other cases, when Xcode show strange behaviour (showing a stopped app as running, not stepping on objc_msgSend, ...), I delete :
- the whole build directory : rm -rf build
- myproject.xcodeproj/login.perspectivev3 and myproject.xcodeproj/ login.pbxuser
[warning, you will loose your breakpoints, windows layout, ...]


And in most of the cases, Xcode goes back to normal behaviour.

Hope this will work for you.
