Never mind, I found the problem right after asking.
There was code like this:
#ifdef SOMETHINGSPECIAL
if (somethingspecial) {
#else
if (somethingnotsospecial) {
#endif
blahblahblah();
}
Apparently, the two opening braces confuse the Xcode parser too much, even
though they are within separate #ifdef blocks, and only one can ever be
compiled.
Now at least I can go back to debugging properly!
Thanks,
Howard
