Anyway, I set up a breakpoint on the first line in a function, and run/debug. As expected, it breaks on the breakpoint. However, that's pretty much all that seems to work OK.
This is the code in the beginning of the function (the variable "tmp" is for debugging, thus the name):
CODE
- (IBAction) fetchTagList:(id)sender
{
>>> NSMutableString *tag = [[NSMutableString alloc] initWithCapacity:50];
NSString *tmp = [tagList objectAtIndex: [listView selectedRow]]; // tagList is an NSArray, listView a poorly named NSTableView
if (!tmp)
return;
{
>>> NSMutableString *tag = [[NSMutableString alloc] initWithCapacity:50];
NSString *tmp = [tagList objectAtIndex: [listView selectedRow]]; // tagList is an NSArray, listView a poorly named NSTableView
if (!tmp)
return;
So, the debugger stands on the first line, and I press "step over". It now stands on the second line, but "tag" is invalid (whatever that means). I press step over again, and it goes BACK to the first line!
Step over again, back to line 2. Step over, line 3 (empty), both tag and tmp are now invalid. The "if (!tmp)" doesn't match though, that is, it does NOT return.
What am I missing here?
It is, of course, entirely possible that the code (at least the 2nd line) should not work (I'm new, remember), but the debugger should in my opinion not go backwards!
I've had some other odd problems with outlets too, despite adding the outlet, connecting it in IB and restarting both apps (just in case), the outlet was nil in code, until I created a new outlet with another name and reconnected that... Wtf? That has happened twice.
Edit: Also, could someone please check their Xcode version number? I've got 3.0 build 921.0, is that the "final"? Haven't bought Leopard (yet)
Edit again: It seems I fixed the debugging issue, the project wasn't set to the Debug build configuration.
Isn't that the default?!Also, debugging DID work in Release mode, at least partially.
