How to not step into shared_ptr in xcode

Question

Similar to this question: How can I avoid debugging into Boost source code in Visual Studio?

But how can I do it in Xcode?

Thanks, Jim

The key is the lldb setting target.process.thread.step-avoid-regexp. On my Mac, this had the default value ^std::. You might want to check it on your setup by entering lldb and typing settings show target.process.thread.step-avoid-regexp. Anyway, what you can do is edit ~/.lldbinit, creating it if it does not yet exist, and add a line like

settings set target.process.thread.step-avoid-regexp ^(std::|boost::shared_ptr)

This keeps the previous behavior of not stepping into std:: stuff, and also does not step into shared_ptr.
