I am working on an iPhone app in which I need to include a library (lib.a) for the app to work. This library (lib.a) consists of multiple files(classes). While debugging, I noticed that I could not step into any function in the file sync.m (included via lib.a), but I could step into any function in file (data.m) (also included via lib.a). I am wondering as to why I can step into one file and not another. I am using XCode4.2/iOS 5.0
I have checked all the debug settings in both my app and the library.
Generate Debug Symbols => yes (for debug)
I am also in the “run for debug mode”.
The only thing that I suspect at this point is that I moved the sync.m from one folder to another … Would that cause a problem with respect to the debug symbols ??? Where are the debug symbols stored? In the dsym file? Where can I find this file as I would like to see which debug symbols are being generated and which are not.
I would appreciate it if anyone can throw some light on this issue.
The object was not being retained and thus was pointing to nothing(NULL). Obviously, therefore function couldn’t be stepped into.
