Removing gdb introductory message in console

[sorinc03]

Hello everyone,
I am watching Stephen's lessons and I was wondering how I could set XCode not to show the whole:

GNU gdb 6.3.50-20050815 (Apple version gdb-1461) (Wed Dec 23 06:11:18 UTC 2009)

Loading program into debugger…

in the console when running a program. I don't see the use of all the text displayed and I would like to have a blank screen when starting to read variables and such. Any ideas? Mr. Kochan?

Go to Xcode > Preferences...   Under Debugger Console Output  set the font size to something tiny (2 for example) and the color to light gray (you can even change it to white and it will be gone).

Cheers,

Steve

I set it to what you said but the thing is that even my printf outputs become tiny and faded...so that's not a solution.

[skochan]

No, go back and check. You set the wrong preference.

Cheers,

Steve

It worked. Don't know why it didn't the first time. Thanks!

Off-topic: will you sell DVDs with Part 2 and 3 of the LiveLessons? I already have part 1.

When you invoke gdb you need to pass it the command-line argument '-silent' to suppress the greeting message.

gdb -silent

Not sure how to do that automatically in XCode, but as far as gdb itself is concerned that will do the trick.
