hi all,
overall i am a very satisfied user of Xcode, so basically: thanks guys!
however
my project is getting bigger and bigger and the risk of damaging the source
code on a spot that is not encountered during debug-time is getting bigger too
what worries me is that often when Xcode is compiling/linking/running in the background and
a compile error arrises or a breakpoint is hit, the application (Xcode that is) becomes
the frontmost application and takes focus from my keyboard.
at that time i could be typing a small e-mail or whatever
ofcourse whenever this happens i immediately stop typing :-)
but in somecases a character or two enters my source code, in all cases so far this lead
to a compile error, but, it is thinkable that one day i will enter a character such a way that
will modify my code and the change will not be seen by me (and one of my customers
will in the end inform me, but that is ofcourse way-too-late)
i could ofcourse never type in the foreground when Xcode is preparing to run in the background
but this will have a serious effect on my effinciency as a worker
is there a workaround?
I use source code control and frequent use of diffs to see if anything has changed.
Most of the time, you might find that what you've typed by accident makes no sense to the complier, and gets picked up very quickly.
