"Cannot create __weak reference in file using manual reference counting"

[an...@laundrapp.com]

Hi,

Some generated code is adding this "__weak" reference while creating the code for manual reference counting.

Apparently since xCode 7.3 came out this now creates a build error.

Is there a specific reason for that reference to be there, and will it be safe to remove all those "__weak" from the code in a pos translation script?

Thanks in advance,

Andre

This should be fixed in 1.0.1. We've changed __weak annotations to __unsafe_unretained in this commit.

If you want to keep converted code for some reason and use it with Xcode 7.3, just replace __week in J2ObjC_header.h with __unsafe_unretained. It will fix the error.

Good suggestion, but don't ask for support for saved code. The tool was designed to be a compiler, and we don't have the resources for other uses.
