I hope somebody has experience to draw on to help you, but I fear many people would say this:
The best way to address a bug in software that is one major version back, running on an operating system two major versions back, is to use current versions of both. Back then, especially, lldb and Xcode were "improving rapidly," which is a euphemism for "even the immediately previous version is unusable compared to the latest."
Thats a fair enough comment. So does the Debugger IDE show the contents of immutable strings in Xcode 5.xx? If not then moving to Xcode 5 and either Mountain Lion or Mavericks won't solve that issue will it. (I have ML but haven't moved to it yet; for what I wish to do it's not required)
You may not know this but you can actually run multiple versions of Xcode nowadays, since they can ‘co-exist’. That allows you to try out latest, with the latest bug fixes etc, and fall back to your previous version if necessary. Sometimes there may be a upgrade of the project model (may not be intentional) so if you want to be safe, you should back up your project when trying out the new Xcode.
I personally find that it is more manageable to do incremental upgrade than to do a big jump in Xcode versions. YMMV.
Han Ming ps: I just tested on latest Xcode, your problem is indeed solved. |
