I don't know if this is a defined behavior or a bug, so I thought I
would toss it out here before submitting it as a bug. The punch-line
is that an NSTableView column that is fed data via an
NSArrayController does not display large values for unsigned shorts
correctly.
I have an NSObject subclass that has an unsigned short to represent a
16-bit TCP port. The accessors also use an unsigned short for
setting/retrieving the value.
The objects are placed in an NSMutableArray which is tracked by an
NSArrayController. An NSTableView's columns bind to the
NSArrayController for their data.
THE PROBLEM: When the port value is a large number (e.g., when the
highest order bit is set), the table view shows a negative number
instead of a large positive number.
The work around was easy enough: just make the port a 32-bit number.
Is this the defined behavior (i.e., not supporting unsigned shorts),
and is therefore my mistake?
Or is this a bug that should be reported?
Thanks,
Todd
