I think what you want already exists. If you look in the script menu there
is a Code submenu with two very useful scripts: "Place Accessor Decls on
Clipboard" and "Place Accessor Defs on Clipboard". These two scripts will
generate KVO compliant declarations for the header file and method
declarations for the code file. There is also a nice little utility called
"Accessorizer" which does this and much more. Note that neither gets the
definitions perfect, they do not handle mutable objects properly (they use
copy rather than mutableCopy), but other than that they are great time
savers.

you can choose mutableCopy from the popup as the style --
but what would be cool is if I could determine mutability from the declaration and handle that automatically for you --


I have a feature coming which should do this , and more -- hope to get to it rsn.

I recently ran across an interesting dialogue

http://www.cocoadev.com/index.pl?XcodeTooMuchLikeATextEditor

that asked why XCode doesn't have a built in script or function of some
sort that generates body files from the header file. The question
didn't seem to be answered and Google doesn't return much about this,
at least with my search terms. I've seen a lot of other IDEs that do
this sort of thing and was a little surprised that I didn't run across
anything.


It seems pretty reasonable to have some AppleScripts generate a body
that's KVC compliant from a header that contains the instance variables
and the non-KVC method declarations. Before I run off to do this, does
anyone know of a location that already provides this? Yea, I know it
could get fancy by synchronizing newly added methods, etc, but it would
be nice to just have a simple little script save a few minutes at the
start of each project by skipping the mundane details of copying and
pasting all of the methods, doing KVC, etc.


Assuming it's not already out there and I've just overlooked it, I can
provide a link back to the list when I'm done if anyone would be
interested.
