After playing around for two days in gdb I returned to Xcode to discover the Xcode debugger was having great difficulty syncing up. If I tried to manually sync I would get an error about a dylib not being found (even though it was fine). After trashing prefs and cache files the problem persisted. I switched over to another account and all was well so it had to be something about my home folder.
More poking and prodding was fruitless when it occured to me that .gdbinit might be the culprit. And so it was, moved .gdbinit aside and all is once again well. I will just have to manually source it when I need to use since I can’t see a way to determine if Xcode is loading or not.
