There's probably a better way, but you could create an if statement containing a log message (or something) that has a breakpoint (e.g.:

if (aString == nil)
{
	NSLog(@"blah") <-- Breakpoint here
}

)

Kinda stupid solution, though.

Once in a blue moon, I get a console message that a nil string was passed to [NSConcreteAttributedString initWithString:] I'd like to find out where this is coming from by setting a breakpoint there, but only for a nil string. Adding the breakpoint as a symbol to the symbolic breakpoints works, but I can't set the condition (e.g. aString == nil), since the parameter's name isn't available.

What can I do, since this method is called hundreds of times in the normal course of things, so just having an unconditional breakpoint isn't very useful. Can I specify a register somehow?
