Question

I have a really simple class, and within the implementation I have this code:

@implementation MyProgram
{
    int myInt;
}

Then in a separate method I have this:

- (void)myMethod
{
    myInt = 0;
}

I noticed this int was giving me problems, so I debugged and stopped it within myMethod. When I hover over the variable, it tells me the following information:

int    $3    17893987392

Obviously, this information (I think) should look like this:

int    myInt    0

Strange thing is, when I re-hover over the variable, the “name” continues to increment by one:

int    $4    17893987392

Can someone shed some light on what is going on?? I upgraded to Xcode 4.3.1 yesterday, and things have been strange ever since.

It’s a bug in the LLVM debugger — change your debugger to GDB. See UIViewController subclass can't assign instance variable for more information.
