interesting xcode behaviour

I have discovered some interesting xcode behaviour, and I'm not sure if it's a feature or a bug.

I have several targets in a project. Most of them share a common main(), and most of their code, with only a few files different.

Recently, I added a complete, self-contained file to the project. (its own main and symbols and everything) Just to be explicit, the new file is exactly that. a single file with lots of functions! :) (I didn't do it!)

Anyway, I have some variables declared in interface.cc in my regular targets:

interface.cc:

Move_T PV;


in ab.cc, I have

extern Move_T PV;

Previously, if I command-clicked on an instance of the PV variable in ab.cc, it would take me to the declaration in interface.cc.

Since I've added the new file, it takes me instead to an identically named variable in the new file! remember, there are no includes, or ANY shared functions or data across these two SEPARATE targets. I didn't write the code in the new file, so I can't avoid the fact that we use some similar (global!) variable names.

Is this supposed to happen? It's as if all global variables share a common indexing, despite belonging to different targets. And it seems that the most recent addition takes precedence.

I suppose I should add that I'm using the most recent public releases of everything (xcode, OS X, etc) and that all my targets still build and execute properly. Thus, it seems to be an IDE thing, not a compiler thing.

Thoughts?

PS: I got several complements on my "great looking IDE" from some linux geeks yesterday (well, geeks in training). Way to go, Apple! Now, if some of the functionality could get a little more tweaked... :) (I know you're working on it; this isn't disparagement, it's a complement! _______________________________________________ xcode-users mailing list | email@hidden Help/Unsubscribe/Archives: http://www.lists.apple.com/mailman/listinfo/xcode-users Do not post admin requests to the list.
