Is It Possible to NSLog C Structs (Like CGRect or CGPoint)?

I want to be able to debug C structures without having to explicitly type every property that they consist of.

i.e. I want to be able to do something like this:

CGPoint cgPoint = CGPointMake(0,0);
NSLog(@"%@",cgPoint);

Obviously the '%@' won't work, hence the question.

Solution 1:

You can try this:

NSLog(@"%@", NSStringFromCGPoint(cgPoint));

There are a number of functions provided by UIKit that convert the various CG structs into NSStrings. The reason it doesn't work is because %@ signifies an object. A CGPoint is a C struct (and so are CGRects and CGSizes).

Solution 2:

There are a few functions like:

NSStringFromCGPoint  
NSStringFromCGSize  
NSStringFromCGRect  
NSStringFromCGAffineTransform  
NSStringFromUIEdgeInsets

An example:

NSLog(@"rect1: %@", NSStringFromCGRect(rect1));

Solution 3:

NSLog(@"%@", CGRectCreateDictionaryRepresentation(rect));
