Hello,

I seem to be having an acute case of brain blockage, I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong with a simple thing I've done a thousand times.

I have an NSDictionary that contains, well, objects. When I call -objectForKey: I get nil for keys that are definitely in there.

The dictionary gets constructed like this:

  [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
      kUnitsKey, [NSNumber numberWithDouble:units],
      kValueKey, [NSNumber numberWithDouble:value],
      kIsMetricKey, [NSNumber numberWithBool:isMetric],
      nil];

This is later used elsewhere, where it seems to arrive intact.

  po dict

outputs this:

------ Debugger output ------
Printing description of dict:
{
    1 = kIsMetricKey;
    "3.852019958611236" = kValueKey;
    200 = kUnitsKey;
}
---- Debugger output end ----

kUnitsKey, kValueKey and kIsMetricKey are declared in a separate header as

  extern NSString *kUnitsKey;
  extern NSString *kValueKey;
  extern NSString *kIsMetricKey;

and defined in a .m as

  NSString *kUnitsKey = @"kUnitsKey";
  NSString *kValueKey = @"kValueKey";
  NSString *kIsMetricKey = @"kIsMetricKey";

  po kUnitsKey

yields

   (NSString *) $11 = 0x0000000100323f68 kUnitsKey

accordingly for the other keys. Yet

   [dict objectForKey:kUnitsKey]

returns nil

   po [dict objectForKey:kUnitsKey]

yields

   (id) $10 = 0x0000000000000000 <nil>

The keys are unique, there are no duplicates with different values elsewhere.

I'm using Xcode 4.3.2 on Lion 10.7.3, fully updated, this is a Mac OS X, project compiled with Apple LLVM 3.1 debugged using LLDB. Even tried LLVM GCC4.2 and I did a full clean and recompile, same result.

So it's me. What's wrong?

Thanks for any pointers!

Regards
Markus
