If you can repro this in a sample app, or can send your app to Apple as-is, definitely file a bug.

In my experience the debugger has lots and lots of little issues like this, but they never reproduce in a test app; they only start to occur when you have a real full-sized app. Our large apps have many, many debuggability issues like this screenshot—lots of [$VAR whatever] instead of real values, missing variables, <out of scope> or <value> where real values ought to be, etc. It's very frustrating but there's no way to file a real bug on it because tiny test apps never reproduce the bug, and our bugs always get closed with "cannot reproduce" when we file them.

Hello list,
I was debugging an app of mine while I've encounter this strange thing (take
a look at screenshot). This is not the first time.

There is an NSMutableArray declared and called pdFormat.
As you can see it was allocated and inited. However I can't see into the
debugger.
Some other objects has a <value value instead the address memory.
Is this a sort of bug of xcode 3 or a mistake of mine? Is there a
workaround?
Thanks a lot
malcom
