Breakpoints not breaking in xcode

When I set breakpoints in xcode by clicking in the gutter, the code runs right by them and does not stop. I am in debug mode, so it is not something that simple. When i start the code all the breakpoints turn orange. Is there some setting or something I need to enable to get breakpoints to work?

Like Alex, I have problems with gdb not stopping at some of the breakpoints I set. I do recognize the difference between Build&Run and Build&Debug, and I am using the latter. Sometimes the debugger stops where I put a breakpoint, sometimes it stops, but on a different line, sometimes it doesn't stop at all, and sometimes it won't let me place a breakpoint on the line I want.
As one would guess, it helps to write one statement per line, break up complex statements, and expand macros. Even so (and also turning off code optimization), I still find that a lot of my breakpoints just won't work. And then, there are the frequent occasions on which the debugger stops at a breakpoint but then dies and gives me no useful information, or shows a nonrecursive function calling itself, or tells me a variable is out of scope when it clearly should be IN scope.
Frankly, I waste less time creating my own debugging statements than trying to figure out what gdb is doing. That's disappointing, and I wonder if there are some good resources on learning to use Xcode/gdb more effectively? Is there, for instance, a reference that explains messages like "Frame identical to previous; corrupt stack?" and provides some hints on what classes of bug are likely to elicit particular error or crash modes?

  • Breakpoints not breaking

    I have a JavaFX project running in the mobile emulator through NetBeans 6.5. Several of the classes used are Java classes being called from the Main.fx.
    When I set a breakpoint in Main.fx it always triggers, but if I set it anywhere in any of my Java classes it never does. I've tried this many times. I know for certain that the code is being evaluated at the break point, it just isn't breaking. I can even break it in Main.fx then step through to the point I wanted!
    Is there a better way?
    Thanks in advance for any responses.

    Thanks for your responses. I never realized I would have found a bug.
    It blows my mind to think of what I would do if I didn't have breakpoints and step throughs. I will just wait patiently, while I make tons of println() calls.Debuggers are brilliant! Once touched never the same again.... don't feel strange that something called a debugger has found you a bug? It's the real deal and have fun with them in the future,

  • JCOP Tools 3.1.1b: Debugger does not break, what am I doing wrong?

    Hey everybody
    I'm desperately trying to debug applets using the JCOP Tools 3.1.1b but when I start the applet in debug mode, the debugger does not break on the breakpoints I set. You might know the little ticks that appear on top of each breakpoint bullet in the editor. The strange thing is that these ticks do not even appear.
    I tried various versions of eclipse (3.1.0, 3.1.1, 3.1.2) and WinXP as wells as Linux. Does anybody else have the same problem or even a solution?
    Thanks
    Jonas

    hello,
    here are few steps you should check:
    - when you start the debug session JCOPShell will load the applet into the simulator. You have to first make sure the applet is loaded with debug info. JCOPShell should do that by default, but check on the trace that "upload" command is called with the -d option:
    upload -d "G:\glut-wks\JC\bin\helloworld\helloworld.cap" - then JCOPShell will install the applet with the "install" command. At that stage only the install function (and of course the constructor of the Applet) will be called. So breakpoints located in other part of the code won't break. Check the trace because if install is not called no applet code will be running.
    - after installation, applet must be first selected to get any of its code running. Use "/select |appletname". If you have a breakpoint at the beginning of the "process" method, it should break. if the Applet is not selected all future APDU will go to the cardmanager, and applet code won't be running.
    hope this help :)

  • Bots not visible in Xcode

    Hi forum users,
    today i wanted to test Xcode bots and the integration into the UI. Unfortunately the bots are not visible in Xcode if i set the "view-only for" to anything else as  "anyone". I only want that the stats are visible to people who are registered.
    This bug is really annoying as anyone could access my Xcode build bots via "/xcode" over the web interface.
    I really hope that someone could give me a tip how i could secure the webinterface from unregistered users without loosing the bot controls in my Xcode.
    Thanks in advance,
    Stefan

    Looks like i have that the bot needs to be visible once for Xcode.
    Xcode could grab the bots when view access is available for all. After its shown first time in XCode i've set back the view access to only registered users and everything works as it should.
    Pretty dirty workaround but i can live with it till next the update

  • While loop not breaking?

    I'm writing a parser for some text files.
    My setup looks like so:
    public void parseFile(String fileNameIn) throws IOException{
            BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(
                    new FileReader(fileNameIn));
            String line = null;
            line = br.readLine();
            while(line != null){
                //do a bunch of stuff
                line = br.readLine();
    }I hit a line that == null when I am parsing and for some reason it is not breaking out of the while loop? I have no idea why.

    Sch104 wrote:
    I hit a line that == null when I am parsingNo, you don't. That condition causes control to exit from the loop when it reaches the end of the file. A line of text can't be null. Perhaps it might contain zero characters, or only white space, but that doesn't make it null. If you want to break out of the loop when you reach an empty line, you'll have to write a test for an empty line.
    (Don't worry about what ibanezplayer85 said. Your code is perfectly good for processing a text file, it's equivalent to what he/she posted. I think your version is easier to understand, but you will very frequently encounter his/her version in code so it doesn't hurt to understand it, though.)

  • Mpi not included in Xcode 4

    Why is mpi not included in Xcode 4? Upgrading to Lion and installing Xcode 4 removed mpi altogether. Is there any official Apple docs on this? I saw another person asking the same question, but no reply. I need a confirmation whether Apple officially recommends to install openmpi from now on.
    Thanks.

    Yeah, that sucked... I'm installing openmpi using mac ports now.
    I suppose I gotta set a symbolic link to the /usr/bin/ folder?
    cheers, Peter

  • Xcode breakpoints not catching

    I've been having some trouble in XCode where breakpoints won't catch sometimes. In all cases, the breakpoint indicator on the left side of the source editor window shows up as orange with a blue outline. They are usually solid blue. But when I debug the application, they sometimes switch to this orange color and won't catch.
    Any ideas what's happening here? I am compiling the project in DEBUG mode, and I'm not placing the breakpoints on invalid lines. No errors or warnings during compilation or during debugging in the console.
    Please advise.

    This may be the cause of my trouble. I found this in the XCode 3.1 release notes...
    "The default setting for debugging libraries and frameworks is Load Symbols Lazily. On occasion this causes breakpoints to not be hit. Turning off this setting makes it take longer to start debugging, but hits breakpoints more reliably."

  • ExtendScript Toolkit does not break on breakpoints

    For some unknown reason most of the breakpoints are turned off when running a script.
    Clearing the preferences did not solve the problem.
    Any suggestions?

    Hello.
    Is breakpoint mean red point in left gutter?
    when I want to create breakpoints, always use this.
    $.bp();
    or
    $.bp( /*statements*/ );
    ex). $.bp( i%3 === 0 ); // break if "i" is multiple of 3

  • Program does not break at breakpoint inside stored procedure

    I am using VS 2013 and SQL Server 2012 calling a stored procedure from a C# program. I have a breakpoint set inside the stored procedure, however execution does not stop on it. When my program is running, the breakpoint is hollow (not solid red) and the

    I built my app in debug mode and checked "SQL debugging" in the debug tab.

  • Breakpoints not firing

    Hello Dev's,
    I am having a problem in only one project and I have even tried to recreate the project with no success but previous projects created years prier (made with previous versions of FB) are not experiencing this.
    I am trying to place breakpoints on functions in deep rooted classes (a class that is loaded by a class by a class, its a smaller component from a greater project) which I know is firing as I see the results on the screen.
    However the break point does not fire and remains a blue circle, indicating it won't fire. If I remove and re add the break point while the app is running, it will become checked but once I run the debugger the break point turns back into a blue dot.
    If I put a break point in one of the first lines of the application class, like in it's constructor, it will trigger and then my deeper break points will fire. But if I don't make this out of the way break point (in the main class) the following break points are not firing.
    Thoughts?
    Flex Builder 4.5
    SDK 4.5.1
    Debugger 11.6.5.635 (in FireFox)

    I haven’t seen that before, but in theory would be possible if several SWFs are being loaded and you get a class collision and the breakpoint in the app changes the timing of the loaded SWFs.

  • Ksld not breaking into source file

    Hi guys,
    I installed ksld and started debugging my driver using a tip connection... all works fine.. i inserted a breakpoint on one of my functions in the driver.. and in the tip console once i have reached the breakpoint.. i use ::remote to enter remote mode and start the ksld with all those options on the host and it get connected to the ksld agent.. but the host is not able to show the source code of my driver... ie it always breaks into the asm dump of the driver code.. how do i switch to source display.. but at the same time i am able to edit the source file and all.. ie by using edit command.. but no idea why the asm code is dumped while a break point is reached..
    any idea how we can switch to source level code for debugging..
    thanks all

    The simple answer here is that machine specific files do not need to be checked in. This includes .PSS and .CPD files. The .HHP and .XPJ files are not machine specific, they are project specific and therefore must be checked in. The confusion over the HHP file may come down to whether CHM output is being produced. If you are not, you could safely say that this file need not be source controlled. However it doesn't cost anything to include it under source control so why make life more difficult by excluding it.

  • Debugging in Xcode App. not built in Xcode in Intel Machine doesn't work

    I am using Xcode version 2.4.1 in a MacBook Pro with MAC OS X 10.4.11.
    I build my app using ant. The output is an application bundle.
    I try debugging my app using Xcode, because of a nicer interface.
    To do this, I create an empty project, add a custom executable, and make it point to the java stub inside the bundle.
    I add source files to xcode, and set some breakpoints.
    When I click on debug executable, the xcode debugger will stop in the breakpoint but not show any information in the debugger (this is the problem), only the pause button and stop button are clickable. It doesn't even show the source file. I see that the debugger stopped in the breakpoint, because it says it at the bottom of the window.
    When I try the same situation with my Power PC (same OS and same xcode version), the xcode debugger is able to give all the information in the debugger for callbacks and variables and open the necessary source files. It works in PPC.
    In both cases, I have unchecked the unload symbols lazily checkbox in the xcode preferences, other wise it wouldn't work in PPC either.
    I have not modified any other preferences in xcode.
    Things you should know to help me out, I am building the app the same way for both PPC and Intel using a script that calls jam to create a dynamic lib (from C code) and then ant for java code. The app loads the dynamic lib. I use the same compiler flags for the C code in my jamfile. I build C code with the debug (-g) flag.
    Any help or questions are welcomed
