[webkit-dev] Made a debug build of WebKit.Framework. GDB ignores breakpoints?

[Rudi Sherry]

Before starting to debug, see the menu item Debug->Show- 
 >SharedLibraries...

See that the default for "User Libraries" is "Default (External)".   
That means that anything that is NOT being built by your project (i.e.  
the WebCore framework), when it gets loaded, will only load exported  
symbols.  You're not hitting the breakpoints because it's not loading  
the symbols for WebCore so can't resolve the breakpoints.

In Preferences->Debugging, turn OFF "Load symbols lazily" and that  
should allow you to debug without keeping the WebCore library open.

Don't know if you have to quit Xcode and relaunch in order to make  
that stick, you might have to.
