I need to override a method in a category. I know I'm not supposed to do it but and I don't except in one place which is legacy code and I need it to keep working. Yesterday, everything was working fine. This morning, I upgraded to Xcode 4.3 and now I'm getting more warnings (warnings == errors) including 

Wow, does that even work? I guess it’s not really a traditional OOP override, rather an overwrite, where the category method just replaces the original one entirely. I’ll take your word for it that you need this; it sounds dangerous :o

It did work! I agree that it is dangerous and it violates our policy which includes deprecations are warnings and warnings == errors. But I need it for this one case. It's on NSComboBoxCell and makes autocomplete case insensitive. There may be a better way to do that without subclassing but this is a few years old now so I just wanted to keep everything working.

category is implementing a method which will also be implemented by its primary class [-Werror,-Wobjc-protocol-method-implementation]

I cannot find anything on -Wobjc-protocol-method-implementation anywhere. What I am hoping to do is disable the warning on just that class but I don't know what the compiler flag is.

That _is_ the compiler flag :)

Yea :)

To disable it, you’d add the opposite flag, which I believe would be -Wno-objc-protocol-method-implementation. You can set it for just that source file by going into the Build Stages tab for that target, opening up the list of source files, and double-clicking near the right edge of the list item for that file.

Ah! Many thanks. Is there some place where I can find those compiler flags? I looked on Bing, Google, Apple's Dev site, and Xcode docs within Xcode 4.3 and came up empty every time. I wasn't sure what to search for. I tried "Wobjc-protocol-method-implementation" and "GCC Compiler Flags". I admit that this is not something I do a lot. I stay within Xcode checking and unchecking boxes.

I prefer the change for the file in Build Stages to the pragma so I did that and adding -Wno-objc-protocol-method-implementation also worked.

Thanks a lot everyone
Marc
