Hi,

I'm trying to debug the Downloader example
(Developer/Examples/WebKit/Downloader), but despite littering
MyDocument.m with breakpoints, the debugger does not stop, even for
obvious interface button usage that you can see must be getting called.
I've found this in a couple of other Apple projects, but I never get
this problem with my own code.

I've double-checked that the breakpoints are enabled. Are there any
other factors that could cause breakpoints not to work?

Thanks

Steve

Make sure you're actually running in the debugger (Build & Debug, not
Build & Run), and that debug symbols are enabled (your build style is
Development, not Deployment, and the appropriate checkbox is checked in
your build settings). You should probably also make sure that
optimizations are turned off. While this won't generally result in missing
breakpoints, it can cause weird debugger behavior.

Many thanks, Michael, the Apple Example projects were indeed defaulting
to Deployment build.
