I am getting regular kernel panics.
I have a Kern*.panic file, and a .contents.panic
These files now contain a 'macOSProcessedStackshotData' and so are encoded.
I'm a dev, but not familiar with Apple Kernel debugging (though I've done this before on windows/aix/linux).
How can I get some simple info from the panic, such as kernel backtrace, loaded drivers etc?
Ideally I'm looking for a few points to specific drivers (maybe I can unplug a device) or situations I can avoid

In Xcode, I want to do something when ctrl + c is pressed, but it looks like lldb doesn't catch SIGINT signal.
I also tried the solution:
process handle SIGINT -s false
process handle SIGINT -p true
Still, it does nothing. What am I doing wrong?
This seems like a very basic question but I couldn't find an answer to this yet:
I have a simple C++ command-line application which has its main() thread and from this it forks a service pthread (BSD thread). This service thread performs the I/O on the console. When I just let it run, it works as expected.
The question is: I would like to pause and single-step only the main() thread while the service thread continues to run free in the background, but so far the Xcode debugger insists on always pausing or resuming all threads at the same time, apparently (regardless whether the pause was due to clicking the pause icon or hitting a breakpoint in either thread).
Have I overlooked something or is it in fact impossible in Xcode to pause and single-step only one of the threads in a Mac application?
(I'm not questioning that in most cases the observed behaviour is the desired and most practical one, I'd just need single-thread debugging right now.)

I'm getting the error:
** "Warning: Error creating LLDB target at path '/Users/tantan/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/Videe-bpukzfmjaxewiuaiolulcqllukjg/Build/Products/Debug-iphonesimulator/[AppName].app'- using an empty LLDB target which can cause slow memory reads from remote devices."**
Is there anyone who can explain to me what the reason is and how can fix it?

The actual issue is that Xcode 13 does stop at breapoints, but using the debugger (po someObject) does not print but gives us an error:
warning: Swift error in scratch context: error:
/Path/To/OurApp/OurApp-Bridging-Header.h:14:9:
error: 'SomeSucessfulyUsedDependency.h' file not found
This issue happens on parts of our code, other parts work fine. This is reproducible.
The same project works fine with Xcode 12
Starting with Xcode 13, when running our app in DEBUG config on sim
or device (both iOS 15, but we have tested sims <iOS15 too), the
first line in console is:
error: invalid target, create a target using the 'target create' command
It looks like Xcode 13 is unable to create a target in LLDB. But maybe the console output is misleading and unrelated.
That obviously make debugging a none-nice process ...
Any help appreciated.

How can i solve this problem? lldb linked with python 3, but kdk uses python 2, also command line tools version 12.5.1 which uses python 2 i can not install on monterey too.
This is what my Xcode 13.2.1 console looks like:
Basically, it has one single-char column and every input or output is wrapped to a new line for every typed/printed char.
The only recent change on my mac was it being force-updated to Monterey by my company MDM solution, a couple of days ago.
I happen to have Xcode 13.1 installed, and have the same result with it. My next step is to uninstall, download and reinstall the latest version.
Does anyone know how to fix it?
Following the instructions found here as well as around the Developer Forums, I've successfully managed to begin debugging my system extension on a virtual machine.
Unfortunately, after archiving my system extension and copying over the .app file to my virtual machine, my .app loses access to the source code (on my host machine) and hitting any beak points via lldb yields me hard-to-read assembly code.
How do I also get source code when attaching lldb to a system extension?

When I set breakpoints I keep getting Invalid expression for variables that are clearly set and there "in context".
Furthermore lets say I have an object X with a property y
I'm able to check object X with all of its properties but If i try to watch for X.y I get "Invalid expression"
this doesnt make much sense... I even try to add watch directly from X.y in the watch section but then I got this error

Invalid breakpoint debugging. Tried several versions of Xcode.The breakpoint before app startup can take effect, and the breakpoint after that will not take effect.
What caused the problem? My colleagues also encountered the same problem and the same configuration

I'm getting the error "Cannot create Swift scratch context (couldn't create a ClangImporter)" when running a Swift project in XCode 12.3 on Catalina when I try to use the debugger. There is a resolution of this problem described at https://forums.raywenderlich.com/t/entering-debugger-in-swift-project-couldnt-create-a-clangimporter/130829 but I don't understand the fix of "removing zsh customisations in dotfiles". Can anyone explain what the files to change are and how they have to be changed? (I'm new to Mac development)

Hello!
When I update my source code then build and run my app, the debugger fails to attach.
Xcode says it is "Attaching to Bowtie on iPhone 8" while the simulator shows my app launch screen (Bowtie is the name of my app target). After about 30 seconds, Xcode says it "Finished running" my app and my debugger says "Message from debugger: Terminated due to signal 9". After this, the app instance continues its launch in the simulator, but Xcode is not connected to the running process, so I get no debugging tools whatsoever. If I then re-run the app it launches fine: this only occurs if the source code changes.
Any ideas here?

I know there is https://github.com/apple/llvm-project but how can I know which commit was used to compile lldb that got shipped with Xcode?
Post not yet marked as solved
build and run app
not appear app, and not debug(like freeze app)
finally, stop running
appear this debugger message in debug area
Message from debugger: Xcode has killed the LLDB RPC server to allow the debugger to detach from your process. You may need to manually terminate your process.
how do i solve it?

We imported pure Swift XCFramework into Swift application. On setting the breaking point and trying the po command the following error is seen

error: couldn't IRGen expression. Please check the above error messages for possible root causes.
Solutions Tried:
XCFramework was created with dsym and BCSymbolMaps
XCFramework created without dsym and BCSymbolMaps
Set the Other Swift Flags to -Xfrontend -no-serialize-debugging-options
None of the above solutions worked
Note:
The XCFramework was generated in Xcode 13.4.
The Swift version for generated XCFramework is Swift 5.
XCFramework contains support for iOS and tvOS.
The Sample application was tested in the same Xcode and swift version.
Below is the script used to generate XCFramework

I don’t have a fundamental background in Computer Science or Computing Engineering. I want to learn more about how to do code debugging, but within the bounds of how Xcode provides various debugging panes. I’ve seen a number of WWDC session videos about Xcode and debugging. However I really need to learn more about the fundamentals of using Xcode panes like the stack trace pane, the variables pane, and the debugging console. I would greatly appreciate any advice on tutorials, videos, WWDC sessions, etc. that go to the basic levels of what these panes show, how to interpret the content, and how to interact with the information in various Xcode debugging-related panes.
Thank you.

In some particular situation, Xcode debugger or lldb cli cannot correctly extract some value that returned by a async throw function and handled by guard let try?.
Here is the minimum example:
import Dispatch
func test() async throws -> [Int] {
return [369]
}
let group = DispatchGroup()
group.enter()
let task = Task {
guard let res = try? await test() else { return }
print(res)
group.leave()
}
group.wait()
If added a break point at print(res), the debugger cannot show the value of res.
Due to forum limitation, I cannot paste a screenshot here...
if use p res or po res at lldb cli, it shows:
(lldb) p res
error: expression failed to parse:
error: <EXPR>:3:1: error: cannot find 'res' in scope
res
^~~
(lldb) po res
error: expression failed to parse:
error: <EXPR>:3:1: error: cannot find 'res' in scope
res
^~~
If test() returns a dict, or a costom struct, the issue retains. But if returned a trivial value like Int, it acts normally.
Also, if remove the guard statement, make res a optional value(use let res = try? await test()), debugger can extract the value.
Above results are compiled and run in this environment:
Swift 5.6.1
Xcode 13.4.1 (13F100)
lldb-1316.0.9.46
macOS 12.4
x86_64 arch
