I'm trying to track down a problem in my application running in Leopard. I get to a point where I stop in the debugger and I want to view the member variables of the current object. I click the disclosure triangle for "this," and about two seconds later my application disappears. This is consistent. Any ideas?

Turn off Data Formatters, first. If that makes your app survivable, that narrows it down.


Check to see whether there's anything in Console.app's CrashReporter folder under your app's name. If there are backtraces there it may help us figure out what is actually crashing.

In order to get access to your app's data values, Xcode's data formatters run in your app's process space, so they're subject to all the vagaries of any running code. You could have a bug that's smashing the data formatters. You could have a bad value for a local variable or argument that causes some underlying routine to crash when trying to interpret it (data formatters need to be as fast as possible, so they're not terrifically hardened against bad values).
