如何在 Xcode 调试器中查看 NSDictionary 变量的内容?

有没有办法通过 Xcode 调试器查看 NSDictionary 变量的键/值对?下面是在变量窗口中完全展开时的信息范围:

Variable  Value      Summary
jsonDict  0x45c540   4 key/value pairs
NSObject {...}
isa     0xa06e0720

我希望它显示字典中的每个元素(类似于数组变量)。

In the gdb window you can use po to inspect the object.

given:

NSMutableDictionary* dict = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] init];
[dict setObject:@"foo" forKey:@"bar"];
[dict setObject:@"fiz" forKey:@"buz"];

setting a breakpoint after the objects are added you can inspect what is in the dictionary

(gdb) po dict
{
bar = foo;
buz = fiz;
}

Of course these are NSString objects that print nicely. YMMV with other complex objects.

You can right-click any object (ObjC or Core Foundation) variable and select “Print Description to Console” (also in Run->Variables View). This prints the result the obejct’s -debugDescription method, which by default calls -description. Unfortunately, NSDictionary overrides this to produce a bunch of internal data the you generally don’t care about, so in this specific case craigb’s solution is better.

The displayed keys and values also use -description, so if you want useful information about your objects in collections and elsewhere, overriding -description is a must. I generally implement it along these lines, to match the format of the default NSObject implementation:

-(NSString *) description
{
return [NSString stringWithFormat:@"<%@ %p>{foo: %@}", [self class], self, [self foo]];
}

You can use CFShow()

NSMutableDictionary* dict = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] init];
[dict setObject:@"foo" forKey:@"bar"];
[dict setObject:@"fiz" forKey:@"buz"];
CFShow(dict);

In output you will see

{
bar = foo;
buz = fiz;
}

You can also use NSLog.

Also you can go in Debug area or xcode, then find out All Variables, Registers, Globals and Statics then select your variable. Right click on it. Then select Print description of "...."

Hope it helps!

XCode 4.6 has added the following functionality which may be helpful to you

The elements of NSArray and NSDictionary objects can now be inspected in the Xcode debugger

Now you can inspect these object types without having to print the entire object in the console. Enjoy!

Click on your dict, then click on the little "i" icon, it should do the job :-) Xcode5, view the value of a dict

If you would like to print these in a breakpoint action in modern XCode (yes, I am 10 years after the original post!) use the following breakpoint expression in a "Log Message" action:

@myDictionary.description@

Below is a screenshot of my breakpoint action where the variable event is an NSString and the variable contextData is the NSDictionary that I am logging the contents of: :
