Question

Here’s my code:

#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>

void PrintPathInfo() {
    const char *path = [@"~" fileSystemRepresentation];
    NSLog(@"My home folder is at '%@'", path);
}

int main (int argc, const char * argv[]) {
    NSAutoreleasePool * pool = [[NSAutoreleasePool alloc] init];

    PrintPathInfo();

    [pool drain];
    return 0;
}

And here’s my problem:
Program received signal: “EXC_BAD_ACCESS”.

I really think the problem is my NSLog but I don’t know how to solve it.

Could someone help me please? Thanks!

%@ is for objects. (Like NSString). for const char* you will want the good old %s from the c’s printf format codes.

See http://developer.apple.com/iphone/library/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/Strings/Articles/formatSpecifiers.html
