NSMutableString appendString generates SIGABRT Error
New here (this forum and Xcode in general), so bear with me.
I've spent multiple hours off and on over the last severals days trying to track down what exactly that I'm doing wrong here, but I just don't seem to be able to pinpoint my issue.
Here's the开发者_高级运维 relevant sections of my code (I believe).
In the header:
@interface BlahViewController : UIViewController {
NSMutableString *display;
}
@property (nonatomic, retain) NSMutableString *display;
In the main:
@implementation BlahViewController
@synthesize display;
- (void)viewDidLoad {
self.display = [[NSMutableString alloc] init];
}
- (void)anotherFunction:(UIButton *)sender {
NSString *info = [[sender titleLabel] text];
[self.display appendString:info];
}
I run the code, press the UIButton, and I get an error. Here's the initial throw:
*** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: '-[__NSArrayM appendString:]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x4e3d300' ***
Thanks!
EDIT: The whole stack trace was requested, so here it is (after reviewing the stack I realize there may be confusion, I'm writing a very basic calculator currently, so the ViewController, etc, should consider that backdrop and "anotherFunction" = "digitPressed" in this particular case):

This indicates that you are calling appendString:
an instance of some kind of NSArray
, which obviously won't work.
Assuming that [self.display appendString:info];
is the actual source of the exception, then it is happening because self.display
has likely been over-released and, coincidentally, an NSArray
instance was allocated at the same place in memory.
You could use zombie detection to debug this.
Alternatively, you might be corrupting memory somewhere. Or, maybe, there is another assignment to display
.
In any case, whenever you have a crash, there will be a backtrace. Please post it. There is the off chance that the crash is happening somewhere else.
5 Calculator 0x0000273b -[CalculatorViewController digitPressed:] + 113
Show the source to your digitPressed:
method.
self.display = [[NSMutableString alloc] init];
That is a memory leak; it'll be retained twice. Just do self.display = [NSMutableString string];
and self.display = nil;
(in your viewDidUnload
).
But that isn't the source of your problem; something is resetting the display
variable or it is being over-released. Show all uses of display
.
