What's the magic breakpoint for *** attempt to pop an unknown autorelease pool?

 

Ummm the magic eight ball says: 

"You should always drain an autorelease pool in the same context (invocation of a method or function, or body of a loop) that it was created."

"You can debug it by setting a breakpoint in the _CFAutoreleasePoolPop function. To find out exactly where, disassemble the _CFAutoreleasePoolPop function, and look for the first call to CFLog. On the i386 architecture it’s at _CFAutoreleasePoolPop+84."

Also consider just a breakpoint on NSLog CFLog

Hi All,

    on Mac OS X Snow Leopard anyone know the magic breakpoint to find out when the program emits "*** attempt to pop an unknown autorelease pool".  I've put breakpoints in __NSAutoreleaseNoPool, write, write$NOCANCEL$UNIX2003 (sp?) vrious ctime & ctime_r routines and still I can't get gdb to break on producing the error.  Any hints?

TIA

best

Eliot
