“return” from method while stepping?

Question

I would like to exit out the current method that I\'m stepping through.

-(void)helloWorld {
    NSLog(@\"Hello\");
    // I would like to return here, so tha         


        

Answer 1

When you are debugging using Xcode and when your program is paused at a breakpoint, you can drag the little green arrow to any other line in the function. E.g. in the following code:

if I want to skip the NSLog(@"B"), I can simply drag the green arrow from line 20 to line 23, which means the function will simply "return" from anywhere I want.

Answer 2

I just added a breakpoint at the line mentioned below:

var computed: Bool { 
   return device.time == 10 // added breakpoint here
}

and got the following error:

error: Error returning from frame 0 of thread 1: We only support setting simple integer and float return types at present..

Seems to work for only those two types

Answer 3

Unfortunately in Xcode 4.5.x there is no way to force an early return from a function. In the current lldb sources over at http://lldb.llvm.org/ there is a newly added command, thread return, which does what you want - it includes the ability to specify the return value of the function. This won't be in Xcode until the next major release, though.
