Clang *was* checking this, at least in Xcode 4.2. We had a thread a couple of months ago discussing this, in a case where the check was over-zealous. Clang would produce a warning for '@synthesize foo' if the property was declared '@property (readonly)', and required you to declare it as '@property (readonly, strong)' to avoid the warning. I mention this because Xcode 4.3's clang doesn't complain about this any more. Also, note that 'weak' and 'strong' etc really shouldn't be on @property either, since they only affect the way the ivar is handled. The property itself is neither weak nor strong. The justification given for leaving them on @property was that the complication of attributes on @synthesize seemed undesirable, and that @synthesize is headed the way of the dodo anyway. _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
