Would it be possible to have multiple versions of XCode installed at the
same time? For the moment we have to keep multiple OS installations in
order to go back and forth to the diferent versions of XCode we support.
For example, we have installed 2.4 when it was released but we found a
big problem with Intel inline asm when using the intel syntax instaed of
the AT&T syntax. At the moment we were very close to a release date of
the software so we backtracked to 2.3. In the process we had to
uninstall 2.4. Unfortunately we couln't find the time to write a proper
test case to repro the pbm in order to file bugrepport and I'm not realy
keen on losing more time installing/uninstalling XCode 2.4 just to do
some tests and write a testcase. We also cannot keep multiple updated
versions of the OSes ready for each version of XCode...

Well, as I mentioned above, we've done four releases since Xcode 2.0,
and the test matrix for upgrading scenarios grows as a power function of
the number of versions. We generally concentrate on testing two versions
back for compatibility, because the more regression coverage we do for
the relatively few people leaping from 2.0 to 2.4, the less testing we
get to do on the new release itself, and our experience shows that more
users benefit from focus on the current release than on regression
testing back four versions.
Please do file Radar requests with detailed information, steps to
reproduce, the exact phrasing of errors you get (copied and pasted from
the windows, or with screen shots), and sample projects if applicable.
Those really help us isolate cases like this.
