I must say that I'm very disappointed with XCode. While I did manage
to migrate my CFM--based app from CodeWarrior and got it to compile and
link, it does nothing but crash.
Then, when using the debugger, I can't seem to display values of class
data. But what I found even worse was that the Value column completely
lies about values.
For example:
#define kNumberOfTechnologies 10
SInt16 numberOfTechnologies = Count1Resources ('tech');
FailIfTrue (numberOfTechnologies != kNumberOfTechnologies);
for (int i = 0; i < numberOfTechnologies; ++i)
{
...
}
The value I see for numberOfTechnologies is always 0. But I can step
through this function and watch the loop iterate 10 times.
Furthermore, if it really was 0, FailIfTrue would have thrown an
exception.
This is a debug build using the development build style. I've verified
that all debug symbols are being generated and that all optimizations
are turned off. Also double-checked if I had any #pragmas that aren't
support by XCode, but found none.
The code I've been compiling is really straightforward. I just don't
understand how XCode is giving me this much grief.
FYI: I've also found that having ResEdit open and viewing a resource
file that is included in your project can be a very bad thing. Doing a
clean or a build will completely hang XCode and you must do a
force-quit. After editing the resource file, you have to close it.
