Setting gdb Breakpoints for Cocoa Methods

You might find it necessary to set a breakpoint for a Foundation or Application Kit method. This is done by specifying the method name.

In Xcode create a new breakpoint. Type the full method name into the breakpoint like:

- [NSException raise]

or:

+ [NSObject allocWithZone:]

If you are using gdb from a Terminal, you can also set a breakpoint using the command line. In this case, you can simply type the method name, such as raise or allocWithZone:. If more than one class implements the method, gdb will ask you to disambiguate.
