Is there a way to decode the hex code that comes up with a crash in Xcode? I have looked online for hex converters and it just pulls up gibberish. Like, I got a hex code error that reads:

(0x3901f56b 0x32f1997f 0x3901f261 0x355a906d 0x35dfe1f9 0x35582e9b 0x38f76c63 0x35ea7fe1 0x35e29607 0x35d07821 0x35e298a1 0x35e2d56f 0x35d241f3 0x35d23691 0x283e17b 0x5e8a7 0x35cf7a1d 0x35d68de9 0x356218bf 0x38ff009f 0x38fefd51 0x38fee939 0x38f6cc1d 0x38f6caa9 0x3918633b 0x35c7b535 0x4bbb1 0x4b860)

I went to a hex-string converter and it gave me this:

??V°?/—ð?&?U©Ð?]þ?U‚é°?vÆ0?^§þ?^)`p?]‚?^)Š?^-Vð?]$0?]#i?ƒá{?^Šp?\÷¡Ð?]hÞ?V!‹ð?ð ð?ïÕ?î“?lÁÐ?lª?‘†3°?{SP?»±?K†?

I also looked at my code as hex and those characters did not come up in the code anywhere. Is there a way to decode this, or is it just computer nonsense that is not supposed to make any sense to humans?

    Those look like memory addresses, in which case there's nothing to decode. – Matt Ball Aug 01 '12 at 20:35
  • Is it a IDE Crash? or just your program that crashed at execution?? – Dayan Aug 01 '12 at 20:37
  • I'm not sure what you're looking at but that's probably a stack dump. (In which case it makes no sense to try to convert it to ASCII.) – Greg Hewgill Aug 01 '12 at 20:39
  • Refer to this answer for what may seem like a good answer to your question, as long as the IDE is not crashing, maybe you can catch this - http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7841610/xcode-4-2-debug-doesnt-symbolicate-stack-call – Dayan Aug 01 '12 at 20:40
  • I was just wondering if it was possible to decode somehow, so thanks for the info – cory ginsberg Aug 01 '12 at 20:44
