How to NSLog an Optional Int in Swift?

Question

NSLog is still around in Swift, and offers some extras not available with println such as the timestamp, module, and thread.

However, I'm unsure how to log an optional, for example an optional Int.

Logging an unwrapped optional works fine, e.g.

if let i = myIndex 
{
   NSLog("%@ i %d", __FUNCTION__, i)
}

Attempting to log myIndex, which I would expect to be an object therefore using format specifier %@;

NSLog("%@ myIndex %@", __FUNCTION__, myIndex)

Gives build error:

Value of optional type 'Int?' not unwrapped; did you mean to use '!' or '?'?

How can I use NSLog - not println - to console out my Optional Int?

Solution

Just use the string interpolation syntax:

let d: Int? = 5

NSLog("\(d)")

was using that however it seems to cause crashes. At least previous to beta 3. Will try it now

[Max MacLeod]

yeah it always compiled OK but sometimes crashed on the NSLog with interpolation

Couldn't be that same beta crash? I did not experienced that.

As an alternative you can use: let i: Int? = 5 NSLog("%@", toString(i))

Not seeing crashes these days with NSLog string interpolation using Xcode 6.3.1 (6D1002), so accepting answer above. Thanks @DánielNagy
