Compiling and Debugging Oracle's Pro*C files in OS-X / Xcode

Part of my work as a Web/UNIX developer includes maintenance and development of tools using Oracle’s Pro*C. In text interfaces, VIM is a pretty decent tool for creating source code and their companion make files. If you created the right make file, compiling is also a breeze. However things get kind of tricky when you have to debug. Oh my! This can be a difficult task. Many may say that there’s nothing like gdb, but come on guys, even you can’t deny the beauty of a visual debugger.
