Adding a Symbolic Breakpoint

Steps

1. In the bottom-left corner of the breakpoint navigator, click the Add button.

2. Choose Add Symbolic Breakpoint.

3. Enter the symbol name in the Symbol field.

4. Click Done.

Add a symbolic breakpoint to your project in the breakpoint navigator. Symbolic breakpoints stop program execution when a specific function or method starts executing.

You can specify the symbol as:

• A method name. For example, pathsMatchingExtensions:.

• A method of a particular class. For example, [SKTLine drawHandlesInView], people::Person::name().

• A function name. For example, _objc_msgForward.

If the symbol is declared in more than one library, enter the name of the appropriate library in the Module field.
