BOOL prints as -65

Question

I am trying to NSLog a BOOL in Objective-C. When I do, it prints either as 0, 7, or -65. This is my code:

BOOL testBool;
NSLog(@"testBool = %i", testBool);

I've also tried %d and casting it as an int, but I get the same result every time. Can anyone think of why this would happen?

Any more information you can give? Additional code? – Itai Ferber Feb 06 '12 at 03:14 — Itai Ferber, Feb 06 '12 at 03:14

Declaring it like this solved the problem:

BOOL testBool = NO;

Variables that are not initialized always potentially contain garbage. The only exception are instance variables which are automatically initialized to `0` or `nil` by the runtime. – omz Feb 06 '12 at 03:21
