Xcode debugger: cmd line application - start with sudo?

I need to debug a command line application with Xcode... and I开发者_运维百科 need to have the debugger launch my app with 'sudo'. How do I tell Xcode to do that?

thx->adv

Running XCode as root is a bad idea.

There is an option for this in XCode (6.2):

• Product -> Scheme -> Edit Scheme
• Select the "Run" configuration
• Change the radio button for "Debug Process As" to "root"

Have you tried starting Xcode with sudo?
The processes it spawns (gdb,...) should also run with superuser privileges:

sudo /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/MacOS/Xcode

You could launch XCode itself with sudo, then it will be running with the privileges of your nominated user, and also your application would run with the same privileges.

This may not be the best way; there may be a way to tell XCode to launch your application in a particular way. But the above method will work in any case.
