To create one-shot breakpoints in LLDB, you can use the tbreak
command. This command allows you to set a temporary breakpoint that will cause the program to stop only once at the specified location. This is particularly useful when you want to pause execution at a specific point without having the breakpoint trigger multiple times.
For more detailed information on using breakpoints in LLDB, you can refer to the session titled "Run, Break, Inspect: Explore effective debugging in LLDB" from WWDC 2024. The session covers various aspects of debugging with LLDB, including setting and modifying breakpoints, using breakpoint actions, and handling high-firing breakpoints.
If you are interested in learning more about breakpoint actions and how to create temporary breakpoints, you can start watching the session at the chapter on Breakpoint actions.

Learn how to use LLDB to explore and debug codebases. We’ll show you how to make the most of crashlogs and backtraces, and how to supercharge breakpoints with actions and complex stop conditions. We’ll also explore how the “p” command and the latest features in Swift 6 can enhance your debugging experience.
