I am building an MPI C project in Xcode. In order to do run it, I had to: Specify /path/to/mpiexec in Edit Scheme -> Run -> Info -> Executable, instead of the "default" one, say myprogram if my target is called myprogram. Specify the following arguments in Edit Scheme -> Run -> Arguments -> Arguments Passed On Launch: -np 4, ${BUILT_PRODUCTS_DIR}/${EXECUTABLE_NAME} This is clearly analogous to a mpiexec -np 4 a.out command launched on terminal. The problem is, when I want to debug my application, the execution doesn't "stop" on the breakpoints. I instantly thought that it is because of the check box Debug Executable in Edit Scheme -> Run -> Info -> Executable. Indeed (as I have just said), the Executable specified in there is mpiexec and not myprogram. Thus, is there an option or some command I could set in Xcode to attach the lldb to myprogram?

Hello! We're working on a large app with over 400 modules in both Swift and Objective-C, totaling more than 3 million lines of code. Since the release of Xcode 15 and 16 this summer, we’ve been experiencing issues with LLDB that have made debugging practically impossible. Here are some of the problems we’re facing: The first breakpoint takes a very long time to hit. When using 'po self', we encounter the following error: error: type for self cannot be reconstructed: type for typename "$s5MyModule10PlayerViewCD" was not found (cached) error: Couldn't realize Swift AST type of self. Hint: using `v` to directly inspect variables and fields may still work. We get numerous log messages like this: Debugging will be degraded due to missing types. Rebuilding the project will regenerate the needed module files.warning: (arm64) /Users/egormerkushev/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/App-enhtbwiyebmjsffoqkqhhpshsfia/Build/Products/Debug-iphoneos/MyModule.framework/MyModule(UploadConfiguration.o) 0x000000000000079d: unable to locate module needed for external types: /Users/builder/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/ModuleCache.noindex/169D1N0MIKBUI/Security-3BRN4UPIIGHME.pcm error: '/Users/builder/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/ModuleCache.noindex/169D1N0MIKBUI/Security-3BRN4UPIIGHME.pcm' does not exist In the Derived Data folder, we find files with hash-like names, such as: Security-3JM2E93YFDLZNYHWPPIMWNENB.d Security-3JM2E93YFDLZNYHWPPIMWNENB.dia Security-3JM2E93YFDLZNYHWPPIMWNENB.pcm Security-3JM2E93YFDLZNYHWPPIMWNENB.scan Security-3NAAT3MGN7XY96KVJW529HR41.d Security-3NAAT3MGN7XY96KVJW529HR41.dia Security-3NAAT3MGN7XY96KVJW529HR41.pcm Security-3NAAT3MGN7XY96KVJW529HR41.scan Security-3RJH8STJC01N1KKN7JCY1WK7F.d Security-3RJH8STJC01N1KKN7JCY1WK7F.dia Security-3RJH8STJC01N1KKN7JCY1WK7F.pcm Security-3RJH8STJC01N1KKN7JCY1WK7F.scan Security-3TILE9XTY0B8UV9VYL7Y0MJN.d Security-3TILE9XTY0B8UV9VYL7Y0MJN.dia Security-3TILE9XTY0B8UV9VYL7Y0MJN.pcm Security-3TILE9XTY0B8UV9VYL7Y0MJN.scan Security-3ZE8O6ZPHE4L52UZGL0PCBA59.d Security-3ZE8O6ZPHE4L52UZGL0PCBA59.dia ...

The kernel sends SIGKILL to application if it handles ES_EVENT_TYPE_AUTH_OPEN and lldb is attached to this process.

Hi, i have met error below when i tried to po one attributes of an instance in my Xcode lldb: error: type for self cannot be reconstructed: type for typename "$xxxxx" was not found (cached) error: Couldn't realize Swift AST type of self. Hint: using `v` to directly inspect variables and fields may still work. Is there anybody met the same error before? I urgently want to know why this happen and how to fix this issue. My macOS Version is Sequoia v15.0.1, Xcode16.0. This problem showed after i upgraded my macOS and Xcode version.

When I run my app on iOS 18, the following gets logged to the XCode console. error: Error reading commands from file lldbinit - file not found. I've never heard of that file before. What is it, why is it needed, why does the app (unbeknown to me) try to read from it, and why is it missing?

I've downloaded xcode beta and from then I'm not able to see any messages in the debugger console. I only see the: "Message from debugger: killed" after stopping it. I tried downgrading it but since I'm using Sequoia Beta, "normal" xcode won't be compatible with this MacOs version. This is what I have: xcode Version 16.1 beta (16B5001e) Apple Swift version 5.10 (swiftlang-5.10.0.13 clang-1500.3.9.4) Target: x86_64-apple-darwin24.0.0 lldb-1500.0.404.7 Apple Swift version 5.10 (swiftlang-5.10.0.13 clang-1500.3.9.4) xcode-select version 2409. package-id: com.apple.pkg.CLTools_Executables version: 15.3.0.0.1.1708646388 volume: / location: / install-time: 1725364937 It can be a mess as I tried so many ways to make this work. Thanks in advance. Regards.

i'm trying to get firefox running in 10.7 but the kernel is crashing. i have it working/running/looking great on 10.8 and higher. something is happening in 10.7 that is causing the panic. i need the right kit. someone asked a similar question for 10.11: https://forums.developer.apple.com/forums/thread/108732 but feedback assistant doesn't seem like the right answer. i need this kit to move forward. right now using either the 10.7.0 or 10.7.4 kernel debug kit causes a panic on reboot; something to do with AVX and the fpu. i am hoping APPUL had enough foresight to see this would be an issue (even one year later) for people on newer architectures debugging for older, supported (until 2014) targets: this use-case definitely falls within the parameters.

I am on M1 (Xcode Version 15.4 (15F31d), MacOS 14.5 (23F79), Simulator IOS 17.4) and as far as I remember printing common usage register was possible. I am not sure why it stopped to work rid, rsi and etc (arg1 arg2 seems like still working).

Hello, I have a test bundle in my application and one of the strong request of our project is to run ui tests from command line having just application build. How to run unit tests on .app file that has a test target? What we tried xcrun devicectl device install app --device <device-identifier> <UITestBundle-Runner.app> xcrun devicectl device process launch --device <device-identifier> --start-stopped <com.apptestbundle-Runner.xcrun> It launches and is waiting pid to be attached. In lldb: device select <device-identifier> device process list Seeing process 'UITestBundle-Runner' pid. device process --pid 'pid id' It attaches and I can see 'debugserver' in the pid list, but it does not start testing and I need tests to start and run. Thanks!

Hi 👋 I need assistance in attaching the to the pid in terminal. In lldb mode I am connecting to the pid using device process attach --pid <pid-id> which gives me an error Process 505 stopped * thread #1, queue = 'com.apple.main-thread', stop reason = signal SIGSTOP frame #0: 0x00000001d505c808 libsystem_kernel.dylib`mach_msg2_trap + 8 libsystem_kernel.dylib`mach_msg2_trap: -> 0x1d505c808 <+8>: ret Thanks

If one would like to perform network debugging that involves toggling wireless on and off while still remaining connected to the debugger, how can one disable wireless connections of their devices to Xcode?

As I trying to check "Publishing changes from within view updates is not allowed, this will cause undefined behavior." within the app in Xcode 15.4 , but unable to see that in the specific file but is getting logged in the Xcode , even I tried adding debugger for "All runtime issues" , its not working. Console like Opposed to this I am expecting this to be visible in the file as Anyone can pls help me in there!! Thanks!!

Hello everyone, I'm encountering an issue while trying to debug a macOS Action Extension. I created a completely fresh project with an Action Extension target. When I select the Action Extension scheme and run it, choosing Finder as the host app (app to launch it in), I receive the following error: Attach failed: Could not attach to pid : “647”. (Not allowed to attach to process. Look in the console messages (Console.app), near the debugserver entries, when the attach failed. The subsystem that denied the attach permission will likely have logged an informative message about why it was denied.) This is in Console.app: macOSTaskPolicy: (com.apple.debugserver) may not get the task control port of (Finder) (pid: 647): (Finder) is hardened, (Finder) doesn't have get-task-allow, (com.apple.debugserver) is a declared debugger(com.apple.debugserver) is not a declared read-only debugger. I am pretty sure it worked before on my project that I am developing. It stopped working and now it doesn't even work on a fresh new project. Any ideas? I tried cleaning derived data, restarting my mac, nothing helps. As per the documentation it should work normally using the Build & Run button.

I am using the Leaks instrument, and it has identified a bunch of 32 and 48 byte "Malloc" leaks. I would like to see a hex dump of some (or all) of those areas. I think if I can see what is in them I can get a better idea about what is triggering the leak. I'm pretty sure it is a real leak. What is the easy way to do this? Can it be done inside instruments, or do I need to run my app under instruments and also attach via lldb and hexdump from lldb? (can I attach lldb and instruments at the same time?) If it matters I'm debugging an iPadOS app, and it is written in Swift plus ObjC, plus ObjC++, oh, and some straight C++.

I have a sandboxed app in /Applications. I'm attempting to shoot a problem with LLDB, so I cd to /Applications/app-name/Contents/MacOS and do lldb programname. However, once I fire it off with "r" it dies instantly with: error: process exited with status -1 (lost connection) Should this work? Should I try signing the lldb executable? Thanks!

After upgrading from Xcode 14.3 to Xcode 15.2, I am observing unexpected behaviour in Xcode when printing string variables to the console. Specifically, blank lines do not show up (they previously did, as expected, with Xcode 14.3). Steps to reproduce: Put this multiline (Swift) string literal in some Swift file (two lines with one blank line in between) let test = """ line1 line3 """ let Xcode hit a breakpoint in the file with the string print the string value to Xcode console: (lldb) po test "line1\n\nline3" print the same string, cast to NSString, to Xcode console: (lldb) po test as NSString line1 line3 Observed: The blank line is missing in the "po test as NSString" output Expected: There should be a blank line between line1 and line3 I'm running macOS 13.6 (22G120) and Xcode 15.2 (15C500b)

Xcode15.2 LLDB 太慢了，简直无法工作，好几分钟才断点出变量传，然后断点无法跳出继续执行。Xcode14.1则不会有这些问题，望修复。

Visual Studio, Stadia, and JetBrains are supporting natvis files, where Xcode is still stuck on lldb python files that even Xcode no longer uses to debug data structures. Apple has converted all of their scripts to native code, so there are no samples of how to write complex lldb visualizer rules. There is already an lldb-eval that can bring in natvis files, so something like this should be brought to Xcode. C++ packages like EASTL only ship with a natvis file, and it's far simpler to edit and write than the lldb rules and python scripting.
