Getting Bad Access on defined function - ios

Question

I keep getting a EXC_BAD_ACCESS on certain functions in a class. If I change the name of the function the error seems to go away...but I want to know why this is happening, because I happen to like the names that I'm giving my functions.
This is my h file-
#property(strong, nonatomic)NSString* month;
#property(strong,nonatomic)NSString* day;
#property(strong,nonatomic)NSString* description;
#property(strong,nonatomic)NSString* type;
#property(strong,nonatomic)NSString* venue;
#property(weak,nonatomic)IBOutlet UIImageView* imageView;
#property(weak,nonatomic)IBOutlet UILabel* descriptionLabel;
#property(weak,nonatomic)IBOutlet UILabel* venueLabel;
#property(weak,nonatomic)IBOutlet UILabel* titleLabel;
#property(weak,nonatomic)IBOutlet UILabel* typeLabel;
#property(weak,nonatomic)IBOutlet UILabel* dateLabel;
#property(weak,nonatomic)IBOutlet UILabel* monthLabel;
#property(weak,nonatomic)IBOutlet UILabel* dayLabel;
-(void)setDate:(NSString*)month withDay:(NSString*)day;
-(void)setImage:(UIImage*)image;
These are my setters -
-(void)setDescription:(NSString *)description{
self.description = description;
self.descriptionLabel.text = description;
}
-(void)setTitle:(NSString *)title{
self.title = title;
self.titleLabel.text = title;
}
-(void)setType:(NSString *)type{
self.type = type;
self.typeLabel.text = type;
}
-(void)setVenue:(NSString *)venue{
self.venue = venue;
self.venueLabel.text = venue;
}
-(void)setDate:(NSString *)month withDay:(NSString *)day{
self.month = month;
self.day = day;
}
-(void)setImage:(UIImage*)image{
self.imageView.image = image;
}
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
// Do any additional setup after loading the view.
}
-(void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated{
self.monthLabel.text = self.month;
self.dayLabel.text = self.day;
}
If I run this - I get a EXC_BAD_ACCESS on setTitle. If I change that to setEventTitle the error goes away, and I get a EXC_BAD_ACCESS on setVenue.
This is how I'm calling these functions-
-(UIView*)getEventResultView:(NSDictionary*)component{
EventViewController* eventVC = [[EventViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"EventResultView" bundle:nil];
NSDictionary* dateDictionary = someDate;
NSString* month= [self findMonth:dateDictionary];
[eventVC setDate:month withDay:someDay];
[eventVC setTitle: someTitle];
[eventVC setVenue: someVenue];
[eventVC setDescription:someDescription];
NSString* titleImageUrl = someUrl;
dispatch_queue_t queue = dispatch_get_global_queue(DISPATCH_QUEUE_PRIORITY_HIGH, 0ul);
dispatch_async(queue, ^{
NSData *titleImageData = [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL URLWithString:titleImageUrl]];
UIImage* titleImage = [UIImage imageWithData:titleImageData];
[eventVC setImage: titleImage];
});
return eventVC.view;
}
Why is this happening?

Answer 1

You have an endless recursion:
-(void)setType:(NSString *)type
{
self.type = type;
…
}
It is here:
self.type = …;
is the short form of
[self setType:…];
So the method (there are no functions in your code) is called while it is executed.
Do this:
-(void)setType:(NSString *)type
{
_type = type;
…
}
