I just refactored some .xcconfig files, and discovered that $(inherited) works in some places but not in others. I didn't see any documentation that even mentions $(inherited). I'd think it would be in the Xcode Build System Guide, but it isn't.
Experimentation showed that you can't use it in a GCC_PREPROCESSOR_DEFINITIONS setting. That seems like one of the best places to use it. A work-around is to set a user-defined symbol, say COMMON_PREPROCESSOR_DEFINITIONS to the definitions used everywhere, then put $(COMMON_PREPROCESSOR_DEFINITIONS) on the downstream definitions.
Should $(inherited) have worked for defines? Is there any doc on where it's valid?
