Diff output of two lldb commands

Setup

1. Copy the contents of the last snippet (lldbinit) from the gist page, and paste into your .lldbinit file. This makes the ksdiff macro known inside lldb.
2. Put file ksdiff.py in ~/.lldb/
3. sudo pip install temp
4. Restart Xcode debug session

Example

(lldb) ksdiff ;

cornr

import XCTest

class UniversialLinktTest: XCTestCase {
    var app: XCUIApplication!

    override func setUp() {
        super.setUp()
        continueAfterFailure = false
        app = XCUIApplication()
        app.launch()

libdispatch efficiency tips

The libdispatch is one of the most misused API due to the way it was presented to us when it was introduced and for many years after that, and due to the confusing documentation and API. This page is a compilation of important things to know if you're going to use this library. Many references are available at the end of this document pointing to comments from Apple's very own libdispatch maintainer (Pierre Habouzit).

My take-aways are:

• You should create very few, long-lived, well-defined queues. These queues should be seen as execution contexts in your program (gui, background work, ...) that benefit from executing in parallel. An important thing to note is that if these queues are all active at once, you will get as many threads running. In most apps, you probably do not need to create more than 3 or 4 queues.

• Go serial first, and as you find performance bottle necks, measure why, and if concurrency helps, apply with care, always validating under system pressure. Reuse

Whole Module Compilation Optimizations: Why these terms are sometimes misleading

When you look up how to compile swift faster for debug builds, people very earnestly give advice that seems contradictory: you should "try using the whole module optimization flag," and also "never use whole module optimization for debugging". [^1]

This is confusing because some of us are using these two general words:

compilation: "turning text into an executable program"

# The trick is to link the DeviceSupport folder from the beta to the stable version.
# sudo needed if you run the Mac App Store version. Always download the dmg instead... you'll thank me later :)

# Support iOS 15 devices (Xcode 13.0) with Xcode 12.5:
sudo ln -s /Applications/Xcode-beta.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/DeviceSupport/15.0 /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/DeviceSupport

# Then restart Xcode and reconnect your devices. You will need to do that for every beta of future iOS versions

# (A similar approach works for older versions too, just change the version number after DeviceSupport)

To start using Carthage with a new project:

1. List your dependencies in a Cartfile. Refer to the Carthage documentation for details.
2. Run carthage bootstrap --no-build --use-submodules
3. Create a new workspace.
4. Drag your existing App project into the workspace.
5. Drag framework dependency projects from ./Carthage/Checkouts into the workspace.
6. Go to the General tab of your target properties.
7. Add framework dependencies to Linked Frameworks and Libraries. They will show up as Workspace frameworks.
8. Add the same frameworks to Embedded Binaries.
9. Note, the previous step will probably create duplicates in Linked Frameworks and Libraries. Delete the duplicates.
