Shazron Abdullah commented on CB-3458: -------------------------------------- It was acceptable at the time. Granted, the time was 2009 (when we first used the concept of CordovaLib), and force_load was not available until Snow Leopard was released (Xcode 3.2), and we never updated it since - until this issue brings it to light again, and we will update it to the better usage. Ideally the -ObjC alone should work, but those two additional flags were created for the -ObjC linker bug... (not sure if it has been fixed since) > requiring all_load linker flag is bad practice and breaks other SDKs with > Objective-C categories > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: CB-3458 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-3458 > Project: Apache Cordova > Issue Type: Bug > Components: iOS > Affects Versions: 2.7.0 > Reporter: Song Zheng > Assignee: Shazron Abdullah > Labels: flags, ios > Fix For: 2.8.0 > > Original Estimate: 24h > Remaining Estimate: 24h > > all_load is bad practice and breaks other SDKs with Objective-C categories. > Here is a description of the problem and why all-load is bad: > http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2906147/what-does-the-all-load-linker-flag-do > Simple solution: use force_load instead, simple fix! > With a requirement on all_load linker flag, integrating Cordova with other > SDKs will result in duplicate symbol errors. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
