I've decided to implement an xdb script that creates an on-the-fly an
xcodeproj setup to debug the executable specified on the command line.
Nothing fancy, but it does the trick for me. Use it like:
xdb <executable> [<arg1>...<argn>]
the script makes an xcodeproj starting from an xcodeproj template in which
it sets the executable, the current path, the arguments and a number of
environment variables. The attached tar file contains the xdb script and
the template xcodeproj. Modify in the xdb script the path to the template
xcodeproj. Hope you like it. If you've mods let me know.
Cheers, Fons.

So we have opposite opinions, and your way of working is already supported
(having the xcodebuild command line command), now I want my xdb command

We work on a large cross platform framework and therefore use plain
gmake, but the Xcode debugger is great to debug, manage breakpoints,
observe registers, variables, etc. I use it all the time. 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.
