I've gone through the xcode debugging example on page 78 4-5 times now, yet I'm still not getting taken to the screen with example 3-22. My program is the same, it runs fine, but I'm not getting screen 3-22. Instead, when I step into as the book says in step 20, I'm taken to line 25:

    printf("%d %c %d = %d\n", a, op, b, answer);

So, what am I doing wrong? All I can think is that it has something to do with using Xcode 2.1, or that my Active Build Configuration doesn't seem to have "development" (just "debug," "release," and "default"--I have it set to debug).

Thanks.

I'm experiencing the same problem with xcode 2.1. I can get the debugger to step into the calculate function if I set a break point somewhere in calculate.c otherwise it won't step in regardless of what I do. I don't think it should work this way. I dabbled with gdb and was able to step into calculate regardless of the break point setting in calculate.c.

I don't know what the problem is and some fairly extensive web searching has not come up with anything clear.

I too had this problem, but I just figured out how to resolve it.

1. In the project window, expand the disclosure triangle next to Targets.
2. Under Targets, select Calculator.
3. On the toolbar, click on the Info button. A window titled "Target 'Calculator' Info" will appear.
4. In that window, select the Build tab.
5. In the combo box next to "Configuration," select "Active Configuration (Debug)."
6. In the combo box next to "Collection," select "Linking."
7. Uncheck the box next to ZeroLink.

Now the "Step Into" example should work.

Here's what the Xcode User Guide says about Zerolink:

I gather the debugger finds this last-minute linking to be confusing. Another thing I noticed about Zerolink: originally I mistyped the name of the calculate function when I called it, and the error wasn't caught until runtime. This seems like a "feature" I can live without.

One thing confuses me. According to the release notes:

Yet if you check the project build settings (select Project->Project Settings), Zerolink is unchecked. So the target's Zerolink setting isn't being inherited from the project. But then, where is it coming from?

Thank you, this helps quite a bit, and I ended up reading about zerolink. I'll leave it off for now. As for the discrepancy on Project settings vs Target settings I notice that if I create a new target it will immediately inherit any changes to the Project settings while the original target does not. Bug? I don't know enough to even guess.

zero-link is on by default in new xcode projects, this link tells you how to turn it off by default:

Thanks rhanneken,

I was having the exact same problem. I figured it would have been an XCode bug but didn't even have the slightest clue on how to fix it.
