Beyond that, there should be little for developers working at the level of abstraction of the Cocoa APIs to be concerned about...
Also: "On a Macintosh using an Intel microprocessor, Objective-C messages sent to nil return garbage for return values that are typed as float or double. On a Macintosh using a PowerPC microprocessor these messages return 0.0."
Of course, no one is relying on the PPC behaviour, right? :)
Does this affect the id return type? Right now, I can (I believe) send messages to nil with no fear of crashing. Can I still do this with nested method calls? For example:
myObj=nil; [[myObj someSubObj]doStuff];
Is this still safe?
