[R-SIG-Mac] Debugging package code in Xcode?

[Neil Tiffin]

You might research gdb fb command (future-break.)  It allows you to  
set a breakpoint in code that is not loaded when the debugger is  
started.  I believe you would have to use the debugger console not the  
GUI with a syntax like "fb rgl.so:function_name".
