I find Xcode too complicated in it's configuration. It's too much
Unixy what with all it's gcc underpinnings. I don't want to care
about that sort of stuff.
Why can't Xcode make it easy and warn us about commonly known errors,
like trying to make a library with PIC code on? And give us a helpful
hint to turn it off? Or that sort of thing.
Or I still cannot catch why NEW PROJECT produced by xcode
Have for RELEASE
Generate Debug symbols ON
We always need turn OFF it for release to make smaller code.
(we do not use install step -- I have never understand why we need
use this
step if CW and Visual do not have it).
And a faster text field. CodeWarrior can load and scroll through
multi-megabyte files, fast. Xcode can't.
Yes, as well as XCODE do multi-file search about 10 times slower of
CW.
This is somehow unexpected that Apple cannot do job at least as
good as CW.
Maybe improve GCC to generate code as fast as what I can output with
ASM, too, would be nice ;)
I'd say AS FAST and AS SMALL as CW or at least Visual.
I think it is if you have enough processors working on it. ;-)
CodeWarrior used some caching to achieve its speed, but as I
understand it that mechanism prevented them from doing multithreaded
compiles. So CW could run circles around Xcode on a single processor,
but add a processor and Xcode could use it to compile faster while CW
will compile at the same speed as before.
Again I cannot understand, why GCC should produce BIGGER by size
code for
the same line(s) of C++ code than do CW or Visual.
Only explanation -- it is GNU.
Russian developers have some slang about GNU which sounds
like VERY BAD word by Russian. :-)
Okay, I'm no Xcode fan and I really miss CodeWarrior, but understand
that Xcode has a lot of legacy code going back a *very* long time. It
used to be Project Builder and was on NeXT before that. The Xcode
team is working hard on it, but apparently there's a lot to do to
make it what we think it should be.
Why are we having this thread?
