<h5 class="subsubsection">15.4.4.1 Method Names in Commands</h5>
|
|
|
|
<p>The following commands have been extended to accept Objective-C method
|
|
names as line specifications:
|
|
|
|
<p><a name="index-clear_0040r_007b_002c-and-Objective_002dC_007d-1020"></a><a name="index-break_0040r_007b_002c-and-Objective_002dC_007d-1021"></a><a name="index-info-line_0040r_007b_002c-and-Objective_002dC_007d-1022"></a><a name="index-jump_0040r_007b_002c-and-Objective_002dC_007d-1023"></a><a name="index-list_0040r_007b_002c-and-Objective_002dC_007d-1024"></a>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><code>clear</code>
|
|
<li><code>break</code>
|
|
<li><code>info line</code>
|
|
<li><code>jump</code>
|
|
<li><code>list</code>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>A fully qualified Objective-C method name is specified as
|
|
|
|
<pre class="smallexample"> -[<var>Class</var> <var>methodName</var>]
|
|
</pre>
|
|
<p>where the minus sign is used to indicate an instance method and a
|
|
plus sign (not shown) is used to indicate a class method. The class
|
|
name <var>Class</var> and method name <var>methodName</var> are enclosed in
|
|
brackets, similar to the way messages are specified in Objective-C
|
|
source code. For example, to set a breakpoint at the <code>create</code>
|
|
instance method of class <code>Fruit</code> in the program currently being
|
|
debugged, enter:
|
|
|
|
<pre class="smallexample"> break -[Fruit create]
|
|
</pre>
|
|
<p>To list ten program lines around the <code>initialize</code> class method,
|
|
enter:
|
|
|
|
<pre class="smallexample"> list +[NSText initialize]
|
|
</pre>
|
|
<p>In the current version of <span class="sc">gdb</span>, the plus or minus sign is
|
|
required. In future versions of <span class="sc">gdb</span>, the plus or minus
|
|
sign will be optional, but you can use it to narrow the search. It
|
|
is also possible to specify just a method name:
|
|
|
|
<pre class="smallexample"> break create
|
|
</pre>
|
|
<p>You must specify the complete method name, including any colons. If
|
|
your program's source files contain more than one <code>create</code> method,
|
|
you'll be presented with a numbered list of classes that implement that
|
|
method. Indicate your choice by number, or type ‘<samp><span class="samp">0</span></samp>’ to exit if
|
|
none apply.
|
|
|
|
<p>As another example, to clear a breakpoint established at the
|
|
<code>makeKeyAndOrderFront:</code> method of the <code>NSWindow</code> class, enter:
|
|
|
|
<pre class="smallexample"> clear -[NSWindow makeKeyAndOrderFront:]
|
|
</pre>
|
|
</body></html>
