If you change the initialization of your global variable to
const NSPoint kItemLabelsOrigin = (NSPoint){20, 8};
then it works fine.

Just stumbled onto this and it cost me quite a few hours of

I just reported to Apple a code generation bug I discovered today
in Xcode 2.4.1 and 2.5. Under some circumstances (don't know
exactly what though),enabling optimized code generation results in
incorrect execution.
Steps to Reproduce:
1) Download and decompress sample project "GP" from
<http://www.muratnkonar.com/source-code/GP.zip>
2) Note that the file "FooVoo.mm" declares as a constant an NSPoint
named "kItemLabelsOrigin" with value {20, 8}.
3) Note also that in the init method of FooVoo, an assigment from
kItemLabelsOrigin to a local variable "itemNameOrigin" is made.
Immediately after the assigment, the x and y coordinates of
itemNameOrigin are compared to the x and y coordinates of
kItemLabelsOrigin. Depending on the result, a message is logged to
the console. Then the values of kItemLabelsOrigin and
itemNameOrigin are logged to the console.
Here's the code in FooVoo.mm:
const NSPoint kItemLabelsOrigin = NSMakePoint(20, 8);
@implementation FooVoo
- (id) init
{
NSPoint itemNameOrigin = kItemLabelsOrigin;
if (itemNameOrigin.x == kItemLabelsOrigin.x && itemNameOrigin.y
== kItemLabelsOrigin.y)
{
NSLog(@"itemNameOrigin == kItemLabelsOrigin");
}
else
{
NSLog(@"itemNameOrigin != kItemLabelsOrigin");
}
NSLog(@"kItemLabelsOrigin = %@", NSStringFromPoint
(kItemLabelsOrigin));
NSLog(@"itemNameOrigin = %@", NSStringFromPoint(itemNameOrigin));
return [super init];
}
@end
4) Build and run the project using the Release configuration (which
has Optimization level set to "Fastest, Smallest"), observing
messages logged to the console.
Expected Results:
Something like:
Running…
2007-11-13 20:14:11.200 GP[880] itemNameOrigin == kItemLabelsOrigin
2007-11-13 20:14:11.201 GP[880] kItemLabelsOrigin = {20, 8}
2007-11-13 20:14:11.201 GP[880] itemNameOrigin = {20, 8}
Note that the log indicates that itemNameOrigin and
kItemLabelsOrigin have (as expected) the same value.
Actual Results:
Running…
2007-11-13 20:16:39.953 GP[944] itemNameOrigin != kItemLabelsOrigin
2007-11-13 20:16:39.953 GP[944] kItemLabelsOrigin = {20, 8}
2007-11-13 20:16:39.953 GP[944] itemNameOrigin = {0, 0}
The assigment fails!
