"[self isKindOfClass:[QTMovie class]]" is not a "local variable". It's a method call (two, in fact). I find method and function calls iffy (at best) when used in conditional breakpoints.



GDB needs to have type info to keep you from crashing during expression evaluation of functions/methods. So you need to do something more like the following.


	(BOOL)[$r3 isKindOfClass:(Class)[NSString class]]

On ppc self will most likely be found at $r3. You can always test your expression in the debugger console.

In a small program you might be ok with making a subclass so you can stop in -retain or -release. But in a larger program you might have to change too much of your code so I would temporarily use a category.
