I have yet to see a situation where there is genuinely a reason for not changing the code to fix a warning, assuming that you don't enable any of the sillier warning flags.

Especially when you want to dynamically call methods from different SDKs, getting rid of the warnings can be a challenge. Example:


Take this code, which is compiled against the 10.2 SDK (but the issue is the same for any cross-SDK development):

if (floor(NSAppKitVersionNumber) > 663) // NSAppKitVersionNumber10_2
[center postNotificationName:myNotification object:nil userInfo:info options:(1 << 1)];
else
[center postNotificationName:myNotification object:nil userInfo:info];


This will produce the following warning:

warning: `NSDistributedNotificationCenter' may not respond to `- postNotificationName:object:userInfo:options:'
warning: cannot find method `- postNotificationName:object:userInfo:options:'; return type `id' assumed


For someone who likes his code warning free, I have found no way of getting rid of this warning. And I DO NOT want to turn off the "cannot find method" warning

So build against the 10.3 SDK (or the 10.4 or 10.5 SDKs) instead, setting the "Mac OS X Deployment Target" build setting to 10.2. Then the method will have been declared by the framework headers.


(There are hackier solutions, for instance declaring the method yourself e.g. on a category of NSNotificationCenter. But the officially supported one is using the newer SDK and the deployment target setting.)

Kind regards,

Alastair.
