I apologize for the likely trivial question but I am running into a wall as Google gives me the same non-applicable answers over and over.
I am trying to set a breakpoint in LLDB. After reading the documentation, the options available to me are to either stop on a certain line in the source or on a certain symbol.
What I want to do is set a breakpoint on a certain memory location.
Not read-or-write to that memory location either but simply breaking when the instruction at that location is about to be executed.
In Pseudocode:
break 0x00010000
breaks when EIP points to 0x00010000.
How can I do this?

In lldb you can set breakpoints by typing either break or b followed by information on where you want the program to pause. After the b command, you can put either: a function name (e.g., b my_subroutine ) a line number (e.g., b 12 )
Type quit to exit the lldb session.
LLDB is the system debugger on macOS, iPadOS, iOS, tvOS, and watchOS. It can also be used for Objective-C and Swift development for architectures: x86_64. i386, ARM and AArch64, and default debugger in Xcode on macOS. It supports debugging on desktop, in simulators and devices.
breakpoint set has an address option; you would type help breakpoint set to see all of them. For your specific example,
(lldb) br s -a 0x10000
(You can always use shorter versions of command names in lldb that are unambiguous so typing out breakpoint set isn't necessary)
