[webkit-help] Xcode won't stop at break points when running Webkit workspace.

[Jeremy Moskovich]

Hi Edward,

WebKit runs a bunch of processes, are you sure you're attaching the
debugger to the right one?

I often find it useful to print the pid to stdout and call pause() if I'm
having trouble getting a breakpoint to hit.  You can then attach a debugger
manually to that pid and continue from where you left off.

Best regards,
Jeremy
