for sometime now (i don't remember when this started, possibly w/ leopard or 10.5.5 or the previous dev tools update), i've been getting a number of lines like the following on the debugger console when hitting breakpoints:

warning: Trying to look up "NSString" in 'this' but 'this' is not an aggregate
warning: Trying to look up "description" in 'this' but 'this' is not an aggregate
warning: Trying to look up "void" in 'this' but 'this' is not an aggregate
warning: Trying to look up "_pbxgdb_objc_dynamic_type" in 'this' but 'this' is not an aggregate

warning: Trying to look up "_pbxgdb_cf_introspect_string" in 'this' but 'this' is not an aggregate


additionally, the variables pane of the debugger window (the top right pane) will show
<incomplete type>
as the value of many of my variables, usually scaler type (e.g., int, BOOL) or variables declared as: id.

can anyone suggest how to fix this?

I'm not sure what's going wrong, but here are a couple of things to check:


With the debugger active, bring up the Expressions window (Run > Show > Expressions). Clear out any stale entries.

Check if you have a (hidden) .gdbinit file in your home directory, or possibly in the root directory. Move it aside and restart the debugger.

Cheers,
Ken
