Summary: Incorrect return type for NSCharacterSet methods
Project: GNUstep
Submitted by: beelsebob
Submitted on: Mon 15 Oct 2012 10:04:15 AM GMT
Category: Base/Foundation
Severity: 3 - Normal
Item Group: Bug
Status: None
Privacy: Public
Assigned to: None
Open/Closed: Open
Discussion Lock: Any
_______________________________________________________
Details:
NSCharacterSet's various convenience constructor methods are declared in
GNUstep to return NSCharacterSet *, rather than id. This causes the warning
"warning: incompatible pointer types initializing 'NSMutableCharacterSet *'
with an expression of type 'NSCharacterSet *' [-Wincompatible-pointer-types]"
when declaring an NSMutableCharacterSet as so:
NSMutableCharacterSet *mcs = [NSMutableCharacterSet whitespaceCharacterSet];

Follow-up Comment #1, bug #37575 (project gnustep):
Excellent ... it seems Apple have changed their implementation to use id, so
we can now do the same.

Follow-up Comment #3, bug #37575 (project gnustep):
Just as a quick addendum... Apple added support for a new type "instancetype"
in clang, which represents the instance type of whatever class the method is
running in. They still use id as the return type for their init methods, but
it strikes me that alloc/init is the perfect place to use it.
