Project specific .lldbinit in current working directory not read by Xcode

This is the working directory in which you launch whatever process loads the LLDB framework. Xcode doesn't have a useful working directory (it was / last time I looked), so you can't really use the cwd version.

A solution for Xcode project specific lldb settings that will work in many cases is to put a symbolic breakpoint on main, set it to auto-continue, then put the settings you want in the breakpoint commands of that breakpoint.

It would also be great if Xcode had some UI to specify target-specific lldbinit files.

Xcode now (written with the public Xcode 12) has support for setting a scheme-level LLDB Init File. This can be done as part of the Info tab in the Run phase of the scheme.

1. Open project in Xcode.
2. ⌘ + Shift + , to open scheme editor.
3. Select Run then the Info tab.
4. Edit LLDB Init File value.
   • Use $(PROJECT_DIR) to reference the directory that contains the project.
   • Use $(SRCROOT) to reference the target's source root directory.
