Cocoa/Objective-C NSProcessInfo weirdness

Question

So I've just started digging into Objective-C, Cocoa, and iPhone development. I've ran into a little weird thing which I don't really get tho.

I'm trying to get process information, process name works fine, but things get weird when I try to also get the process ID.

Here's the piece of code I have, which evidently doesn't output anything to the console:

NSProcessInfo *processInfo = [NSProcessInfo processInfo];
NSString *processName = [processInfo processName];
int processID = [processInfo processIdentifier];
NSLog(@"Process Name: '%@' Process ID:'%@'", processName, processID);

After this block of code, all other NSLog calls are also ignored. And the process keeps running stating something about GDB, and I get this in the console:

Loading program into debugger… GNU gdb 6.3.50-20050815 (Apple version gdb-962) (Sat Jul 26 08:14:40 UTC 2008) Copyright 2004 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

(gdb)

I'm probably a bit of an idiot here, but hey, I've never messed with Objective-C before... lol __whistles innocently__

Answer 1

The line

NSLog(@"Process Name: '%@' Process ID:'%@'", processName, processID);

should be

NSLog(@"Process Name: '%@' Process ID:'%d'", processName, processID);
/*                          change here ^                          */

as processID is just a int and no Objective-C object
