Is there a way to view the key/value pairs of a NSDictionary variable through the Xcode debugger? Here's the extent of information when it is fully expanded in the variable window:
Variable Value Summary
jsonDict 0x45c540 4 key/value pairs
NSObject {...}
isa 0xa06e0720
I was expecting it to show me each element of the dictionary (similar to an array variable).
In the gdb window you can use po
to inspect the object.
given:
NSMutableDictionary* dict = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] init];
[dict setObject:@"foo" forKey:@"bar"];
[dict setObject:@"fiz" forKey:@"buz"];
setting a breakpoint after the objects are added you can inspect what is in the dictionary
(gdb) po dict
{
bar = foo;
buz = fiz;
}
Of course these are NSString
objects that print nicely. YMMV with other complex objects.
