For a Mac error how do you determine the object when given its hex ID ?

Question

I have been given an error on the Mac:

objc[30344]: FREED(id): message release sent to freed object=0x3d55b60

How do I determine the object's symbolic identity so that I can fix the problem ?

Answer 1

AFAIK there is no way to get the symbol that the object is associated with. For this kind of thing you'll likely want to use Instruments to track down where the object was allocated.
