when I build my Cocoa-Application using the Build-Configuration "Release" there are a lot of strings in the executable binary file and some of them I don't want to be there.

The strings I extract from the binary using the utility strings.

For example there are absolute pathes to Objective-C Source files. In my opinion those must not be in an exacutable file which I want to release. Also there are some names of attribute-variables belonging to an Obj-C class.

The problem with absolute paths has been fixed for a future release of GCC. Unfortunately there's no workaround today. (I wish there was...I've been looking forward to this fix for a while.)


I'm not sure about the question of variables -- that might be necessary for Obj-C's dynamism, but it might not. If you're unsure, file a bug report at <http://bugreport.apple.com/> and someone'll take a look at it.
