Only setting it up for each binary is a pain and could surely be done via a small script generating a "dummy" Xcode project.

And as another data point, we use Xcode for development (and xcodebuild for command line builds from scripts), but I quite often use command line GDB because of the relative unreliability and sluggishness of the Xcode debugger.

(I should say, it has improved considerably in recent versions of Xcode, though when I *do* use Xcode's debugger I tend to drive it from the debugger console---moving the mouse all the time is too annoying.)

I have yet to try LLDB, though if it's as good as the rest of the LLVM project it'll be well worth using.

Kind regards,

Alastair.
