As was pointed out below the CString doesn't support instance method string:. Crashing this in a debugger should give you call stack so you can trace who is doing the calling. You should also have a crash log that can be symbolized. But, if this is your code run it in the debugger and have it c

err hmm - running out of ideas. That's a heck of an address by the way - you must be in 64 bit mode, I'm still not. I often put a try-catch block around the body of the code in main.m NSLog()ed the exception at that point and stuck in a breakpoint. I do that because I have had issues with unha

Hi, Still banging my head on this one. Here's what I've done: 1- Adding a breakpoint on objc_exception_throw: brings the debugger on NSApplicationMain... 2- I've enabled MallocStackLoggingNoCompact environment variable. After my app crashes, I've tried shell malloc_history 1480 0x7fff71192b

Hi Andre, To help you debug this problem, I suggest you set a breakpoint on the objc_exception_throw exception symbol. Using Xcode 4, this can be done by: 1) From the main menu bar choose View > Navigators > Breakpoint. 2) At the very bottom left of the project window, click the "+" button. 3) F

Google up mallocstackloggingnocompact. Bill Bumgarner had a good article on it. That would help you track memory actually allocated. On Jul 18, 2011, at 8:34, Andre Masse wrote: > Hi, > > I'm having problems tracking down this bug: > > -[NSCFString string]: unrecognized selector sent to in
