viewController.m :
#import "ClassMod4ViewController.h"
#implementation ClassMod4ViewController
#synthesize object;
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[object Print];
[super viewDidLoad];
}

Answer 1

Was the object initialized in the designated initializer (usually initWithNibName:bundle: for UIViewController subclasses) prior to viewDidLoad being invoked?
- (id)initWithNibName:(NSString *)nibNameOrNil bundle:(NSBundle *)nibBundleOrNil
{
// ...
object = [[Msg alloc] init];
// ...
return self;
}
If the object has not been initialized, then it's nil. Remember that it's okay to send nil objects messages in Objective-C (nothing will happen as a result).

Answer 2

have you tried:
- (void)viewDidLoad {
assert(object);
[object Print];
[super viewDidLoad];
}
?
if the assertion fails, then the pointer to object is 0 (or nil). you must create the object before you use it. this is typically performed in the initializer (in your case, of the class that contains the instance of object):
- (id)init {
self = [super init];
if (0 != self) {
object = [[msg alloc] init];
}
return self;
}
but sometimes you'll want to create the object later on.
if you are initializing it, then you may want to set breakpoints where the object is accessed in order to determine where the object is set to 0.
