Import class-dump info into GDB

Question

Is there a way to import the output from class-dump into GDB?

Example code:

$ cat > test.m
#include 
#import 

        

Answer 1

There is no direct way to do this (that I know of), but it seems like a great idea.

And now there is a way to do it... nice answer, 0xced!

The DWARF file format is well documented, IIRC, and, as the lldb source is available, you have a working example of a parser.

Since the source to class-dump is also available, it shouldn't be too hard to modify it to spew DWARF output that could then be loaded into the debugger.

Obviously, you wouldn't be able to dump symbols with full fidelity, but this would probably be quite useful.
