I just discovered that there is a global variable named 'index' of
pointer type declared somewhere in Foundation; but I cant find it! If
you fire a new Foundation project with only that code:
#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>
int main()
{
return index;
}
the compiler will only warn you that the use of 'index' makes integer
from pointer without a cast. (Using a different name or commenting the
import yields an error, of course.)

Should I report a bug or what?
You could file a bug report about the compiler error message not being
very good. Then you can watch it sit there and never get fixed. :(
It's not a global variable; it's an ANSI C function. man 3 index
