I keep a future-break objc_exception_throw in my .gdbinit (because I generally debug in AppCode, which doesn’t yet have a GUI means of configuring breaks on objective-c exceptions).

Is there an equivalent for LLDB?

    If you create a “.lldbinit” file in the directory from which you are debugging and then specify the file on the command line:

    % cat ./.lldbinit
    breakpoint set –name objc_exception_throw
    % lldb /bin/ls
    (lldb) breakpoint list –full
    Current breakpoints:
    1: name = ‘objc_exception_throw’, locations = 0 (pending)

    This should help you to work around the issue for now.

    The “.lldbinit” file ordering is:

  2. check for app specific ~/.lldbinit-lldb file (where “lldb” is the name of the application that is running the LLDB.framework, you can add a ~/.lldbinit-Xcode for Xcode only command) if available
  3. if no app specific file from step 1, then source “~/.lldbinit” if it exists
  4. load the file and process the options from the “lldb” command line command
  5. parse the local “./.lldbinit” file from the current working directory.
