Here's a number of funny questions. I ask them for two reasons: To
determine if I'm doing something wrong in the way I'm using xcode, and
to give Apple some ideas for improving the interface to the compiler
etc. A summary of the questions follows the main text.
So, here we go. Recently, I had to turn off prebinding for one of my
projects. I selected the target, did "Get Info", then selected the
Build tab and the General settings. Therein, I unchecked "prebinding".
Now, I know how I found it; it wasn't too hard.
But, let's say I forget. The first part of my question is, how would I
go about finding this checkbox using the help? I've searched for a
variety of things in Xcode help, and none of them have led me to the
pertinent pane.
The second part of this question is, is there a place where all of
these available target and project and compiler and linker settings are
all summarized. I want a page I can look at, and either see what's
available, or see where I can go if I'm looking for something specific.
A second example is that recently I wanted to enable -NDEBUG.
So, I went to "Project Info", then "Styles" => Common Settings. The
last item is "Preprocessor Macros", where I can type "NDebug".
(Which, incidentally, isn't automatically added in the "Deployment"
style. Why not?)
Later, under "Customized Settings", I noticed that there was a setting,
"DEBUGGING_SYMBOLS" set to YES. Is this the same thing? or is this the
'-g' compiler option? How do I find out? Searching for
"DEBUGGING_SYMBOLS" in xcode help is unilluminating.
Finally, I know that if I see a crossed-out preference/setting, it
means that a higher-level setting takes precedence, eg project over
target. I'm not sure if it's possible to override these on a per-target
basis. But, my last question is, How do I find out why a particular
setting is crossed out, and can I override this?
To summarize:
1. How do I learn (from the help) the location of a particular setting.
I want to disable prebinding. But if I type in "Prebinding Disable", I
don't get led to the appropriate window.
2. Does there exist (and where) a page detailing all the available
project, target, compiler, etc settings.
3. Related to #1, how do I get detailed info on a particular setting? I
would like to be able to right-click on a setting and choose "help"
from a context-menu.
4. How can I override project settings in a target (or can I), and how
do I determine why a setting is unavailable at the scope I'm currently
examining?
Thanks,
Markian
