No it doesn't mean that. When Xcode is "running" without setting any breakpoints, there are a lot of the pieces of information gdb normally gathers that we know it doesn't need. So we cooked up some startup settings that tell gdb not to notice things like shared library loading and not to read any symbol information at all, etc. If you only need to use gdb as a program launcher not a debugger, it doesn't add much overhead. It's only when you want to do things like look at symbols or set breakpoints that you start to pay for having gdb around.

I think I understand now. So is this mode new in 3.2? I just tried running an app in Xcode 3.1 in the "Breakpoints disabled" mode, and there is no gdb process running at all.


So far Xcode is by far my top reason for wanting to upgrade to 10.6.
