Debugging SIGABRT within NSManagedObjectContext -save:
- by westsider
From inside NSManagedObjectContext -save: I am getting this message:
Assertion failed: (_Unwind_SjLj_Resume() can't return), function _Unwind_SjLj_Resume, file /SourceCache/libunwind/libunwind-24.1/src/Unwind-sjlj.c, line 326.
Program received signal: “SIGABRT”.
warning: Unable to read symbols for
/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/DeviceSupport/4.2.1
(8C148)/Symbols/Developer/usr/lib/libXcodeDebuggerSupport.dylib
(file not found).
This happens when I delete an Experiment object with to-many with Run which has to-many with Sample which has to-one with Data. Experiment also has to-many with Page which has to-many with Display which has to-many to Run. I mention this to point out the cyclical nature of the graph. Here is a simplified graph of model:
I had been using Delete Rules but have now switched to "No Action" delete rules in combination with -prepareForDeletion methods for all of these classes. This change made no difference. In both cases, the error message is the same.
Interestingly, when I relaunch the app, all the objects that were marked for deletion have been deleted.
Also, if an Experiment has no Run objects, then deletion works without incidence. For that matter, deleting a single Run from an Experiment also works.
I am hoping that someone has seen something like this and can offer advice on what would cause this. Or, if someone has advice on how to get libXcodeDebuggerSupport.dylib for iOS 4.2.1, that might also be helpful.
Update: I followed advice found here and was able to get Xcode to find libXcodeDebuggerSupport.dylib for iOS 4.2.1. But this did not help at all in diagnosing problem - which persists.
