I've written a very basic foundation tool who's sole purpose is to
save incoming serial data from a cu.foo socket into a log file that
I create. Real simple stuff here. Oddly, when I run the executable
in Release mode from within XCode (Apple + R) I get no problems, and
it merrily logs away to it's heart's content. Whereas when I launch
the foundation tool from Terminal it logs along until a certain
point at which the data it pulls becomes null. Anyone have any
suggestions? If this were a Debug / Release issue it'd make sense to
me, but this is just how it's being launched. I guess it does raise
the question that I don't know how it's launched differently, so
I'll go about investigating that, but hopefully someone might have
an "a - ha".
One obvious possibility to look at would be the current working
directory. Xcode sets the cwd when it launches an executable, but
when you run your tool from the command line, the cwd will be whatever
it is. Command line tools should deal with the cwd, whatever it may
be; applications, on the other hand, should not use it.
