No, they're both right. getcwd() displays the process' current
directory. That has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with where the
process' executable is in the filesystem. The current directory is
inherited from the parent process; it's just luck that means that
Xcode's current directory happens to be the one containing your
executable.
If you want to know where your program is in the filesystem, you can
use the CFBundle or NSBundle APIs (depending on whether you're using
Cocoa or not).
Kind regards,
Alastair.
