The other issue that might rear its head is that the meaning of NSNotFound changes between 32- and 64-bit runtimes**, which makes a mess of archives that use it. The answer, of course, is to keep NSNotFound out of archives, but (as I found to my own cost) if existing code archives NSNotFound, it's really, really hard to clean the mess up. ** I mean: if you archive NSNotFound in a 32-bit application, it's no longer NSNotFound when you unarchive it in a 64-bit application. And vice versa, probably. _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
