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

You can use DSYMCreator.

1. With DSYMCreator, you can create a symbol file from an iOS executable binary.

   It's a toolchain, so you can use it like this.

   $ ./main.py --only-objc /path/to/binary/xxx

   Then a file /path/to/binary/xxx.symbol will be created, which is a DWARF format symbol. you can import it to lldb by yourself.

2. Apart from that, DSYMCreator also supports to export symbols from IDA Pro, you can use it like this.

   $ ./main.py /path/to/binary/xxx

   YES, just ignore --only-objc flag. Then the IDA Pro will run automatically, and then a file /path/to/binary/xxx.symbol will be created, which is the symbol file.

Thanks 0xced for creating objc-symbols, which is a part of DSYMCreator toolchain.

BTW, https://github.com/tobefuturer/restore-symbol is another choice.
