Simple main thread usage detector that I'm using in PSPDFKit to find performance problems early on.

Set symbol breakpoint on objc_msgSend then setup this debug command to log all methods called in iOS Simulator. If you want to do device debugging change esp+4 register to r0, esp+8 to r1 Found long ago somewhere on stackoverflow.
expr -- (void)printf("[%s, %s]\n",(char *) object_getClassName(*(long*)($esp+4)), (char *) *(long *)($esp+8) )

This is a guard that tracks down UIKit access on threads other than main. This snippet is taken from the commercial iOS PDF framework http://pspdfkit.com, but relicensed under MIT. Works because a lot of calls internally call setNeedsDisplay or setNeedsLayout. Won't catch everything, but it's very lightweight and usually does the job.You might n…

Lazy script to wrap Reveal lib load/start commands in one LLDB command.
""" File: reveal.py
Add to ~/.lldbinit:
command script import ~/.lldb-scripts/reveal.py
Q: Want to automatically load the Reveal lib on launch while debugging from Xcode?
A: In Xcode:
Add a Symbolic Breakpoint
Symbol: "UIApplicationMain"
Action: Debugger Command with value "reveal"
