Is there a way to log all the property values of an Objective-C instance

Question

I was just wondering if there is a quick and easy way of printing out to the log all of the various values of the properties to my class for debugging purposes. Like I would like to know what the values of all of the BOOLs, floats, etc. are.

This question seems the have the answer to your question.

Update:

I got curious and made a catagory:

//Using Xcode 4.5.2 - iOS 6 - LLDB - Automatic Reference Counting

//NSObject+logProperties.h    
@interface NSObject (logProperties)
- (void) logProperties;
@end

//NSObject+logProperties.m
#import "NSObject+logProperties.h"
#import <objc/runtime.h>

@implementation NSObject (logProperties)

- (void) logProperties {

    NSLog(@"----------------------------------------------- Properties for object %@", self);

    @autoreleasepool {
        unsigned int numberOfProperties = 0;
        objc_property_t *propertyArray = class_copyPropertyList([self class], &numberOfProperties);
        for (NSUInteger i = 0; i < numberOfProperties; i++) {
            objc_property_t property = propertyArray[i];
            NSString *name = [[NSString alloc] initWithUTF8String:property_getName(property)];
            NSLog(@"Property %@ Value: %@", name, [self valueForKey:name]);
        }
        free(propertyArray);
    }    
    NSLog(@"-----------------------------------------------");
}

@end

Include it in your class: #import "NSObject+logProperties.h"

and call [self logProperties]; to those properties!
