I have NSWindowController which loads nib with following code:

- (id) init

I use [self window] to force nib load. This code perfectly works on Leopard(Intel), but [self window] fails if I run it on Tiger(PPC) - code after [self window] is not executed.


You don't have any code after [self window], so that's to be expected... ;-)

Jokes aside, you need to "return self;" at the end of the method. You should have a compiler warning / error about that.

I also agree with Kyle that calling [self window] in init is probably not what you want to do. It might not even be "safe". In general you should be very careful about calling methods on self from your initializer. Consider this as something you need to be almost as careful and respectful around as thread safety. Before you have returned from your initializer your object is not to be considered fully initialized, and therefore in the general case not "ready for action".

It's better to call "-showWindow:" on the window controller after it's been initialized.
