Re: Strings and Probes

[Rick Riolo]

Doug,

This works for me--in the @interface I have:

  char *tString;

which in createBegin I initialize with, for example,

  obj->tString = (char *) malloc( 64 );

and then I set up the probe with

  probeMap = [EmptyProbeMap createBegin: aZone];
  [probeMap setProbedClass: [self class]];
  probeMap = [probeMap createEnd];

followed by:

  [probeMap addProbe: [probeLibrary getProbeForVariable: "tString"
                                    inClass: [self class]]];
