NSInvocation nil argument

Question

How do I (or can I even) pass a nil argument to an NSInvocation object?

I tried to do this:

NSMethodSignature* signature = [AClass instanceMethodSignatureForSelector:@selector(aMethod:theOtherArg:)];
NSInvocation* invocation = [NSInvocation invocationWithMethodSignature: signature];

[invocation setTarget: aTargetObj];
[invocation setSelector: @selector(aMethod:theOtherArg:)];

/* I've tried both this way */
AnObj* arg1 = nil;
AnotherObj* arg2 = nil;
[invocation setArgument: &arg1 atIndex:2];
[invocation setArgument: &arg2 atIndex:3];

/* and this way */
//[invocation setArgument: nil atIndex:2];
//[invocation setArgument: nil atIndex:3];

NSInvocationOperation* operation = [[NSInvocationOperation alloc] initWithInvocation:invocation];
//opQueue is an NSOperationQueue object
[opQueue addOperation:operation];

The first approach will crash with this message:

The second approach will crash with this message:

Thanks in advance for any help!
