That's what I start to understand... Quite strange when used to Java (and java ide) for the last decade :o)

Found a guy bothered with the same problem about a year ago (http://briksoftware.com/blog/?p=24 ). Still I am not sure to get why XCode can't do what seems (to me :o) a fairly simple action but it seems, considering the explanation on the linked page, that it comes from the way xcode works with gdb (and from gdb itself).

Thanks again, I now look at the command line (a kind of return to good old times but hey, everything has a price :o)

Yep found that but I want so see the value of my NSNumber in the GUI debgger (in XCode). I want to see my array (it shows something like 10 objects for the summary) and then, if I open the array I want the summary to work for each of the NSNumber inside. Bellow you can see that aNumber is well shown but that the same formatter isn't working inside the array...


Data formatters have been notoriously unreliable since Xcode 1.0 or so. I usually turn them off, since they don't always work (as you've noticed), and they sometimes screw up debugging sessions, leading to a timeout, in which case the only remedy is to pull the plug and start again from the top.

If you need to inquire about the state of objects, the best way to do it is manually, as long as you know that the object has been allocated.
