What does ??? mean in iOS


I'm new to iOS, and the simple app I'm trying to code crashed with the following:

2014-07-18 22:21:19.006 Weather Client[1191:60b] *** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: '-[UIViewController _loadViewFromNibNamed:bundle:] was unable to load a nib named "WeatherClientViewController"'

libc++abi.dylib: terminating with uncaught exception of type NSException
(lldb) 

What I was wondering is what is the significance of ??? in line 29. I've tried googling, and the only references to ? were to do with ternary operators. Can anyone tell me what ??? means?


Solution

  • There's nothing left on the call stack:

    27  Weather Client                      0x00002e3d main + 141
    28  libdyld.dylib                       0x01e33701 start + 1
    29  ???                                 0x00000001 0x0 + 1
    

    Frame 28 is where start (the runtime startup code) called your program's main function. Nothing (in your program's lifetime) happens before this.

    For whatever reason, there is some value 1 on the stack before that first real frame, and the stack-walking code obviously doesn't know what function is at the (invalid) address 1.

    Really nothing to worry about.
