Re: gdb & BOOL

I have tested what you say using gcc and gdb from the Terminal and found a similar result:

The line: "BOOL alex = NO;" appears in gdb as "alex = 0 '\000'". If I understand it correctly that is not really a pointer but a "number". Looking at the corresponding header the type is defined as "typedef signed char BOOL;" That seems to be consistent.

Regards

gdb seems to be interpreting BOOL types as pointers - in both the console and the variable viewer, they're being given as (for instance) 0x1000000.
bool types (note the lowercase) are interpreted normally, and appear as 'true' or 'false'.

Anyone else experiencing this?  Is there anything I can do to fix it?
