I encounter exactly the same problem as decribed below, but even when I quit Xcode it doesn't solve the problem.
I use Xcode 3.1.4 on a PwerMac G5 running 10.5.8.


Any idea?

Thanks
Kevin

Hi all. I just ran my product application from Xcode. It crashed, and gdb attached to it. I typed "q" and hit return. gdb said:

Detaching from process 46615 thread 0x10b.

The Debugger has exited with status 0.

My app is now sitting in the Dock, hung. Doing "force quit" on it doesn't kill it. Xcode's "tasks" stop sign is dimmed; it doesn't think the app is running any more. Is there a way to kill this process? Or, given that I won't even be able to restart my machine because this zombie will prevent the restart from going through, do I have to power-cycle my machine??

I suspect it will exit if you quit Xcode.


And what should I do in future to avoid this outcome?

My guess is that if you use the Tasks button to kill the app it won't happen in the future. Also, if you turn off "Auto-attach debugger on crash" for the executable in the project, and use the Debug command instead of Run when you want to debug, that will probably avoid the issue.


Lastly, upgrading to Snow Leopard and Xcode 3.2 will probably avoid it.

Regards,
Ken
