Re: Cannot declare variables in the middle anymore

Amazing!!!
I have been developing software on Cocoa since 2001.... and I was always
able to declare variables in the middle of the methods. I have thousands of
lines of code with variables declared in the middle of the method. For sure!
And it worked very well.
And even if I upgraded from OS X 10 throught 10.2.6 and from the first to
the last version of Developer Tools, I was able to do that all the time.
What should I think? Maybe I have to mark some check-box?
Maybe in my machine something has been corrupted?

Only now, after I tried one only time to launch XCode and compile a short
application, I got that error message, then I closed XCode and stuffed it.
Now I am using Project Builder 2.1 and again I get that error message.
What should I do now? Should I fix thousands of lines of code?

HELP! :-O


Best Regards
