Okay, here's a weird one for you. I have a Cocoa app that uses a
command-line tool to do something. It passes that tool a really long
list of files. The number of characters in the command line is *almost,
but not quite* the maximum number of characters allowed in a command
line. The thing is, it works great when I run the executable normally.
When I run it in the debugger, I get this:
*** NSTask: Task create for path <some tool> failed: 7, "Argument list
too long".
The thing is, I've logged the total length of the launch path + the
lengths of all the arguments + a space between each, and:
1. It logs the exact same number both times,
2. The number is always less than the arg max, and
3. It throws an exception in the debugger, works fine otherwise.
Does NSTask add some arguments when it's being run in debug mode or
something?
Charles
