Summary: 
If by mistake the code I am running through Xcode falls in an infinite loop. Then Xcode Freezes 

Steps to Reproduce: 
Write a small program that ends up on an inline loop, then run

Expected Results:
There should be a breakpoint after an excessive number of cycles

Actual Results:
Xcode freezes

Regression:
As far as I can remember in all the version of Xcode.

Notes:
Could be interesting to have a configuration flag to turn this behaviour on and off, so for those code that exceptionally need to run an extensive number of operations the breakpoint doesn't trigger.

I tried to set up a sample project to replicate the bug, but without luck. I guess I was wrong. Sorry.

A simple infinite loop as I reported seams not to be enough.
In mistakes like recursing a getter it will occur. Of course here the mistake is clear, but when it happens it takes a while to get Xcode on a working state again.

See code below:

@synthesize lastCommand = _lastCommand;

[...]

- (NSString *)lastCommand {
    return [[self.lastCommand componentsSeparatedByString:@" "] objectAtIndex:0];
}
