What's the correct way to print an NSString in Objective-C? A lot of examples use NSLog(), but according to the documentation:
NSLog is a FoundationKit function for printing debug statements to the console. ... NSLog works basically like: fprintf(stderr, format_string, args ...);
Which to me is a bit like the _TRACE macro in Win32/C++. I don't want to print to stderr, I want to print to stdout. There are people who suggest using printf() as follows:
printf("%s", [str cStringUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]);
But this seems like an extra level on indirection to get the NSString printed, and it doesn't "feel" like the solution.
