Question

is there anyway to add a breakpoint for the following warning:

* __NSAutoreleaseFreedObject(): release of previously deallocated object (0x1003e1720) ignored

I’ve tried adding an exception breakpoint on objective c exceptions without success.

Answer 1

The __NSAutoreleaseFreedObject symbol is for the _NSAutoreleaseFreedObject function (single underscore). The underscore means it’s private (certainly a static function).

So you won’t be able to place a breakpoint, as the function is not exported.

You may try to define’s the function’s prototype in some of your header file:

void __NSAutoreleaseFreedObject( void * o );

The, you should be able to set a breakpoint from GDB:

break __NSAutoreleaseFreedObject
