Question

I use the following function to check if a message has expired –

- (BOOL) hasExpired:(NSDate*)myDate
{     
    if(myDate == nil)
    {
        return false;
    }
    NSDate *now = [NSDate date];
    return !([now compare:myDate] == NSOrderedAscending);
}

This works fine if I am comparing two different dates. However, it returns false if the message has expired earlier in the day today. Any ideas on how I might fix it?

(Adding my comment as an answer:)

This should not happen, also 1 second difference between NSDate instances is enough. Add an NSLog() with both dates there to see whether they are different indeed.
