No warning on float to int assignment?

2008-10-24 Thread Don Arnel
I was just looking through some code that I wrote, and noticed I had changed a float to an int in my header file but I was still assigning float values to it in the code. The odd thing was that the compiler was not complaining about it. Which warning is it that I need to turn on in the

Declaring multidimensional arrays in obj-c

2008-09-02 Thread Don Arnel
Hello all, I'm having a devil of a time trying to figure out what seems to be a pretty basic scenario: declaring a multidimensional array in the interface section of a class when the array dimensions are unknown until runtime. Can anyone point me in the right direction with this one?

NSLog() replacement for debugger output

2008-04-24 Thread Don Arnel
I thought I'd share this with those of you who want an alternative to NSLog(). If you want your debugging output to always go to the debugger console without all the date and time stamping info, just place this bit of code in your AppName_Prefix.pch file. Then define the __DEBUG_OUT__

How is this possible?

I have two different class objects that need to know about each other (see below). But if I include the header from one class inside the header of the other class the compiler complains. Is this even possible? ClassOne.h: #import ClassTwo.h @interface ClassOne : NSObject {
