Actually, for a block literal, it's:
… = ^NSComparisonResult ( id<DKStorableObject> a,
id<DKStorableObject> b ) { … }
The literal syntax puts the return type after the [unparenthesized]
"^", unlike the pointer syntax which puts the return type before
the [parenthesized] "^".
Could the stupid block syntax be any less intuitive?
Well, to be fair, it's *two* stupid syntaxes.
I'm so glad that I'm not the only one that find the Block Syntax the
pits. Myself and a colleague struggled for over an hour trying to get
it right and I'm still no wiser really!
What I can't understand is why it was implemented that way?!? I mean
surely there could have been a clearer way of defining and executing
a block of code that the one we have at present?
Cheers
