Cem,

I'm a reborn Objective-C'er, but so take my advice as probably not the most experienced since synchronized was not even available the last time I used Objective-C. That being said, I would have expected to see something more like:

- (NSString *)name
{
	NSString *retval;

	@synchronized (self) {
		retval = [[name retain] autorelease];
	}

	return retval;
}

Also, I thought if you used properties that all of this was done properly for you under the covers. Unless you have a specific need to define your own accessor, you might consider just using a property.

Regards,
Paul

Note that although I mention the iPhone below, this is an Xcode question, not an iPhone question.

I have a bunch of accessors that I define for properties that are something like the following:

- (NSString *)name
{
	@synchronized(self)
	{
		return [[name retain] autorelease];
	}
}

From what I've read, this is correct Objective-C 2.0 syntax, but I keep getting compile warnings like the following:

'warning: control reaches end of non-void function'.

This only happens when I'm compiling for the iPhone simulator, and not for the iPhone itself. Has anyone else seen this? Since this doesn't happen when I compile to the iPhone, I don't really care, except that I'm concerned it may affect my testing...

I'm running Xcode 3.1.2, and targetting iPhone OS 2.2.1 if that helps.

Thanks,
Cem Karan
