You can debug your application in Xcode. You would need to create a 
dummy project:

1. File -> New -> Project
2. Other -> Empty -> Next
3. Type a name then choose where to create it
4. In the top left corner in the toolbar, click "No Scheme"
5. Click New Scheme
6. Type a name
7. In the right side, choose Run
8. In the middle, choose Info -> Executable -> Other and pick your 
application, then close the dialog
9. Now click the run button (the one looking like a play button) in the 
top left corner in the toolbar

When your application crashes it should open the debugger view. You 
might need to add your source files to the project to get a source 
mapping. Do that by dragging them to the left side in the Xcode window.

Just to get a stack trace it's enough to run your program through lldb: 
"lldb my_program". When it crashes, execute the "bt" (backtrace) command 
to print the stack trace.
