I'm using Xcode 4 and have a few static libraries that provide infrastructure for my applications.
When I build the libraries I get the warning: "Dependency cycle for target "xxx.lib" detected: xxx.lib -> xxx.lib"
Intellectually I understand what the dependencies are, classes that mutually refer to one another. But my naive assumption is that the linker works it out if only because the ranlib program is run on the archive files. I've been getting this warning on just about every static library I've written for years, so certainly nothing urgent here. It is only a warning and I've never had any problems linking against these libraries.
I've googled for information and I searched through the Apple and GNU docs for help understanding this warning message, but so far have had no success finding info that directly addresses this warning and its consequences. When I google the only real results I get are my posting of about this same question two and half years ago!
Can anyone offer any context? Should I be worrying about these warnings?
Thanks,
Tom Wetmore
