xcodeexc-bad-accessalloc

In a xcode project, how can you check what is of what properties have an object in a given adress?

I'm trying to use allocations tool but I don't know how to use it, anyways I think this could be very helpful not only in the try of getting rid of a exc_bad_access

Anyways, I managed to get this:

* -[NSPathStore2 release]: message sent to deallocated instance 0x6018e00

That is the instance that makes the exc_bad_access right? But I don't know what it is and my code is huge... i don't know where to start to check. I'm on xcode 3.2.5

Solution

  • There's some ideas in the question Objective-C "message sent to deallocated instance 0x5633b0" which might help you get started, e.g:

    0x6018e00 is likely the address of object in question (the value of self). You can use NSLog or printf with %p to print it.
