Given today's computing power, is there a strong case that can be made for or against the general use of forward declarations?
I grew up using them as a best practice in C++ projects ... but more recently, several seniors Obj-C devs have suggested that they prefer #import in the .h files. Initially, I thought this might be related to the prevalence of Java or C# (which don't deal with such things) ... but the suggestion today was that forward decls was actually unnecessary typing, not considered a best practice ... and that, indeed, #importing in the .h file could potentially actually help weed out bad code. Am I just from another era? _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
