Something else, probably in Cocoa, is defining a "mode" selector
before you do with a different return type. When ObjC can't determine
the exact signature of a selector (for example, because the instance
type is "id") it uses the first one it finds. Searching through the
header files, I see at least two candidates it's probably choosing:
./AppKit.framework/Versions/C/Headers/NSColorPanel.h:- (NSColorPanelMode)mode;
./AppKit.framework/Versions/C/Headers/NSMatrix.h:- (NSMatrixMode)mode;
You can make it work with:
float testmode2 = [(Phase*)[phases objectAtIndex:i] mode];
