There are probably a few good reasons for that. 1) Imagine debugging a Distributed Object application. You pause the execution and the debugger sends a million -description messages to every object on the stack. Probably not the best idea. 2) Without implementing -description for the proxy itself, you would have no idea that an object was actually a proxy without inspecting its isa pointer, which for all you know has been swizzled out anyway. --Kyle Sluder _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
