Jon:

A desperate plea: debugging plugins has been an ongoing problem for
years.  USed to be doable, now I have to rely on multiple calls to
DebuStr from my plugin to see what's going on.  Hardly elegant.

May I urge RS to finally create a mechanism, and clearly document with
a simple example project (RB and Xcode projects), to easily debug a
plugin from Xcode's debugger while debugging the RB host app from the
RB IDE.

This would make our lives MUCH easier!

Peter.

That's unfortunately at this time impossible due to when plugins are
loaded. However, file a feature request, as it used to be doable in
earlier versions of 2006 (although undocumented). It appears the
method has been broken recently due to our work on the compiler, and
since it was undocumented, I'm not surprised :)
