Is there a way to tell LLDB to ignore a file, i.e. step over code in that file when debugging?
(This could be used as a workaround for 1, 2, 3)
The main difference between LLDB and GDB is that in LLDB, the programmer can debug programs written in C, Objective C and C++ while, in GDB, the programmer can debug programs written in Ada, C, C++, Objective C, Pascal, FORTRAN and Go.
lldb is a command-line debugger (we may see graphical debuggers later in the semester.) “LLVM” is the compiler framework that includes many things, including the clang compiler that we are using, as well as lldb. gdb is another commonly-used debugger.
Type quit to exit the lldb session.
Xcode uses the LLDB as the default debugging tool. The full form of LLDB is Low-level debugger. Breakpoints help a developer to stop the execution of the program at any point. Stopping the execution of the program at any point helps to know the current state of that program and its properties.
There is a setting to avoid stepping into functions whose name match a regular expression,
(lldb) set list target.process.thread.step-avoid-regexp
step-avoid-regexp -- A regular expression defining functions step-in won't stop in.
e.g. put this in your ~/.lldbinit
file
settings set target.process.thread.step-avoid-regexp ^[^ ]+ std::|^std::
but in Xcode 4.5.x that's the best that can be done. I mentioned in #2 of your links that inlined stepping support has been added to the LLDB sources at http://lldb.llvm.org/ but that won't be in Xcode until the next release.
