Debugging Objective-C blocks in lldb

The attached lldb command pblock command lets you peek inside an Objective-C block. It tries to tell you where to find the source code for the block, and the values captured by the block when it was created.

Consider this example program:

#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>

@interface Foo: NSObject
@end

@implementation Foo

#!/bin/bash
set -e
CONTENTS=$(tesseract -c language_model_penalty_non_dict_word=0.8 --tessdata-dir /usr/local/share/tessdata/ "$1" stdout -l eng | xml esc)
hex=$((cat <<EOF

Last active June 12, 2024 00:09
Enables smooth frame-by-frame scrubbing (in both directions) – similar to Apple's applications.
public enum Direction {
case forward
case backward
}
internal var player: AVPlayer?
private var isSeekInProgress = false
private var chaseTime = kCMTimeZero
private var preferredFrameRate: Float = 23.98
As of iOS 11/macOS High Sierra, and only including ones in Foundation and CoreFoundation
Strings:
_NSCFString - a CFStringRef or CFMutableStringRef. This is the most common type of string object currently.
- May have 8 bit (ASCII) or 16 bit (UTF-16) backing store
_NSCFConstantString - a compile time constant CFStringRef, like you'd get with @"foo"
- May also be generated by dynamic string creation if matches a string in a pre-baked table of common strings called the StringROM
NSBigMutableString - an NSString backed by a CFStorage (https://github.com/opensource-apple/CF/blob/master/CFStorage.h) for faster handling of very large strings
NSCheapMutableString - a very limited NSMutableString that allows for zero-copy initialization. Used in NSFileManager for temporarily wrapping stack buffers.

NSHipster New Year's 2016

Greetings and salutations, NSHipsters!

As the year winds down, it's a tradition here at NSHipster to ask you, dear readers, to offer up your favorite tricks and tips from the past year as gifts to your fellow hipsters. With iOS 9, El Capitan, brand new watch- and tvOS's, and the open-sourcing of some minor Apple-related tech, there's bound to be lots to share.

Submit your favorite piece of Swift or @objc trivia, helpful hints, unexpected discoveries, useful workarounds, useless fascinations, or anything else you found cool this year. Just comment below!

If you need inspiration, try [the list from last year][2015], or [from the year before][2014], or [from the year before that][2013].
