This happens to me, and the external debugging process means open/close pd million times (number varies according to coding skills ;-) Are there shortcuts to this?
one further note.... you should actually use a debugger (like gdb,
ddd or IDE-integrated ones like Xcode or MSVC) to analyze your code.
You can start pd in it, with the respective command-line options. It
will save you a lot of time, once you are used to it.
