General Question: Debugging these "NS" Objects


  • Subject: General Question: Debugging these "NS" Objects

In the old days, with a C program, debugging was pretty easy. I put a
breakpoint, and when the program gets there, the CodeWarrior debugger window
shows me the value of all variables.

Then came C++ objects, and things got more difficult; I'd have to drill
through a couple levels of indirection. But I could find it all,
eventually.

Now, with Objective-C objects, it seems that the CodeWarrior debugger is
useless. I cannot find a way, for instance, to see the text strings in an
NSMutableArray of NSString*s.

Is there a reference which explains how to do this? Is it easier in XCode?
Or is this "opaqueness" the price we pay for using such a sophisticated
language?
