Try this:
- (void)dealloc {
NSLog(@"_deallocing: %@", self);
[super dealloc];
}
This will output a bit more info about the object to the console. Depending on the class, you'll either get a memory address and the class name or something more detailed. If you want to give something more detailed in your own classes, override this method and return whatever you'd like:
-(NSString *)description {
return @"Something useful about this object";
}

In the dealloc method for a class how would I print out the ID (or some other unique identifier) for the instance being deallocated?
Is this possible? I am just trying to get a little more feedback in the console as an aid to learning.
many thanks -gary-
