Ah! I've caught it in the act. Xcode (3.1) seems to be extremely
confused. I've ended up somehow with two separate dedicated windows
both containing separate edits of the same file.
My project lives in /Volumes/Development/scatter
The file in question lives in /Volumes/Development/Common/
jComplex.h, and is added to the project for convenience but isn't a
member of any targets.
When I command-click on the window title one of them (correctly)
represents the path as:
Jonathan Taylor's MacBook ... Development ... Common ... jComplex.h
The other one represents the path as:
Jonathan Taylor's MacBook ... Development ... scatter ...
Development [complete with the normal hard disk icon] ...
Common ... jComplex.h
This path is of course non-existent.
There's no question this is a bug on some level, but I've no idea
what has got corrupted or confused in order to trigger it. Any
thoughts?
Are you sure there's not a symlink to /Volumes/Development in scatter?
I am certain that there isn't. I have read through the entire
directory contents with ls -la and there is nothing untoward. I have
also never actively created a symlink to anything anywhere on the
machine.
I can reproduce the problem as follows:
Create a header file in Common which will trigger a compiler error
Add it to the project (not to any targets)
Include it from a source file
Compile that source file
When the header is displayed in the build results window it has the
corrupted path associated with it.
There does seem to be something slightly special about the Common
folder though: if I follow those steps but create the header in some
other random directory on Development then I _don't_ seem to get the
problem.
This project file has survived several Xcode upgrades. I don't
remember if at some point I may have explicitly designated the Common
folder in some way as containing source files (I can't remember what
config options there have been in previous Xcode versions). However
now there isn't any specific reference to that folder in the Project
or Target settings, and a quick grep through the .xcodeproj doesn't
reveal anything that looks sinister to me. Having added two files to
the project:
FBA2A5B30E2C91F000D833B5 /* temp2.h */ = {isa =
PBXFileReference; fileEncoding = 4; lastKnownFileType =
sourcecode.c.h; name = temp2.h; path = ../from_cray/temp2.h;
sourceTree = SOURCE_ROOT; };
FBA2A5B40E2C921000D833B5 /* temp.h */ = {isa =
PBXFileReference; fileEncoding = 4; lastKnownFileType =
sourcecode.c.h; name = temp.h; path = ../Common/temp.h; sourceTree =
SOURCE_ROOT; };
... I can reproduce the bug with temp.h but not with temp2.h.
