Question

I want to know how i can trace program execution using xcode
I want to know which method being called right now as when you add break point in method

Is there any way to do such alike thing without adding breakpoints??

Answer 1

There are a couple of Debugger-related WWDC 2012 videos, one of which shows you how to add a breakpoint that continues automatically after running a debugger command. This is preferred to adding logging as there is no need to keep doing the write-compile-debug loop.

You can add an action to the breakpoint that calls:

expr (void)NSLog(@"self=%p Method1", self);

Having said that I still use log calls, but I use my own logging framework which prints the name of the class and method automatically (using __FUNCTION__ string generated by the compiler).
