Sadly, it wasn't MPW that crashed that much back then, it was the OS.On Feb 28, 2012, at 2:54 PM, Jens Alfke wrote: On Feb 28, 2012, at 10:37 AM, koko wrote: I use a library Str Lib which is a string class.

Might be an LLDB issue. Try switching the debugger back to GDB. I haven’t tried LLDB myself but by many reports it’s not quite ready for prime time yet. After giving Xcode 4 kudos I must recall all such praise … Xcode 4 is a severe impediment to timely software development and I am tired of trying to defend it against Visual Studio 2010 which my mates use.
Apple and Xcode are an embarrassment to professional software development.
Oh, come on. You ran into some bugs, and they’re frustrating no doubt, but this is an overreaction. If you’ve been around long enough to remember MPW, you’ve certainly had to deal with many buggy releases from many different vendors. I’ve certainly heard a lot of cursing from co-workers about Visual Studio over the hears. It’s unfortunate but it happens. Especially idiosyncratic bugs that only happen to a small number of users; it sounds like Xc 4.3 is behaving worse for you than for most people. (I haven’t had any real problems with it myself.)
