For me, if you're using this in a logging function, this is a feature, not a bug. If I'm logging a message like "X is Y, should be Z" then I want to know what code triggered that, and logging the actual object type is much less useful for that. If you're interested in the actual type as well, then I'd say just log that too, like: NSLog(@"%s:%d %@: %@", __func__, __LINE__, self, yourMessageGoesHere); Mike _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
