Didn't receive any replies to my original post but I've noticed
that one key piece of information was incorrect in the original
post so going to ask again... Also if anyone has a recommendation
for a more appropriate list to ask this question (objc-language?)
please let me know.
The one line summary is that dead-code stripping seems to break the
BUNDLE_LOADER build setting and I'd like to figure out a solution.
Details follow:
I have an application and a bundle of unit tests. When building the
test bundle I would like to use the BUNDLE_LOADER build setting to
tell the linker to look in the application executable for undefined
symbols. The trouble is that performing dead code stripping on the
application strips away the symbols that the bundle needs (symbols
like ".objc_class_name_MYClass"), leading to linker errors when
trying to build the bundle. Is there any way to set the visibility
or used flags on only those symbols? I know I can use the following
for functions and other symbols, but I have not been able to find a
way to apply it to Objective-C classes:
Have you tried linking the application using the -ObjC flag? I was
having problems with a static library that had categories (and the
dead code stripping would remove thimg), and this tells the linker to
incorporate all Objective-C data into the final object, even if that
Objective-C data looks unreferenced.
