In Xcode 3.0, my Message Bubbles (warnings and errors), error annunciations in the Build Transcript, and cmd-clicking to symbols usually land several lines above the actual target. I understand that sometimes statements span more than one line, and sometimes the context of an error involves an entire scope of curly brackets. But that's not the trouble.

In the debugger, off-by-lines errors occur when a source file has inconsistent line endings (\n for some lines, \r\n for others, maybe \r for others still) from being exposed to editors on more than one platform. The errors you see may have the same cause.


Try opening an Info window on a problem file and explicitly setting the line endings. (I believe this will work with inconsistent files.) See if that corrects the off-by-lines problems.

I suffer from this problem too. It amazes me that this problem, which has been around forever, still plagues development environments and editors in general. On the plus side, at least Xcode (gcc) can compile the sources; the Microsoft compiler refuses to even compile files with Mac line endings.


Can't this just get fixed?
