Is "View Memory of" Broken?

Just about every time I use "View Memory" in the debugger in Xcode 7 or Xcode 8 beta it shows me memory of 0x0 which has nothing. Am I doing something wrong? Isn't "View Memory" suppose to show you the contents of the memory at a given address specified by the variable selected? (maybe it changed definition since 1984?)


To actually view the contents of the memory, I have to:

  1. select the a variable in the variable pain
  2. right clicking to show the hidden function "View Memory of".
  3. That shows me memory for 0x0 to the side in the debug navigator pain.
  4. Then I double click the debug navigator pain 0x0 memory (little chip icon) to open a separate window.
  5. At the bottom of the window there is an address field showing what address the current window is displaying. It shows 0x0.
  6. I then have to type in the memory location because you can't copy part of something from the variable display pain. I type in 0x100840c00
  7. and it finally shows me the memory at the location it should have from the original secret right click menu selection "View Memory of".


This can't be the way it is suppose to work. Do I have some kind of setting hosed up?
