Hi there fellow coders!
I was wondering if you guys could help me with a seemingly simple problem I'm having with my project. I have a header file called "Constants.h" which simply lists 2 strings and a enum variable that I'd like to be constant in any class that I import them into. While I'm not using them in the header file, I may use 1 of the strings in the implementation file. However, when I compile my program, the compiler displays warnings telling me that I haven't used the strings. Furthermore, if a class imports the header file of another class that uses the "Constants.h" file then the compiler will also complain and state the same, obvious message - that I haven't used the two strings.
This situation is similar to when one declares a variable in a method and does not use it.
I know somebody else that is working on a project which used a Constants.h file and he does not have the same problem. We both cannot determine what the problem is.
I guess I should add that I have not locally re-declared any of the variables in the implementation file. In the header files for any my classes that use one or more of the constant variables in the project, I type #import "Constants.h" The Constants.h files is almost as follows:
#pragma mark -
enum enumeratorTag {
value1 = 0,
value2 = 1,
value3 = 2,
};
#pragma mark -
static NSString * MY_CONSTANT_STRING = @"I want to";
static NSString * ANOTHER_CONSTANT_STRING = @" work for Apple";
#pragma mark -
Have I done something wrong? Thank you in advance!
