How do you make "po" give you the "description? In more recent project
builder versions, when I use po on structures like NSArray, I get
something like this:
(gdb) po self
<NSCFArray 0x29a1070>(
<NSCFDictionary 0x2998730>{
entry = <A HREF="/Name?Broderick,+Matthew">Matthew Broderick</A>;
}
)
But if I use description explicitly, I get this:
(gdb) po [self description]
({entry = "<A HREF=\"/Name?Broderick,+Matthew\">Matthew Broderick</A>";
})
(gdb)
I *never* want the first option, and it's a hassle to type in the
second way. So is there a magic way to have 'description' sent with
each po?

In debug mode, you can enter "po yourVariableName" to see the
contents of any variable within the current scope.
To be precise, "po" (the "print object" command), sends -description
to the object in question, and shows the contents of the returned
string on the GDB console. IOW, it only works for objects, not for
other types.

To announce that there must be no criticism of the president, or that

unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American
