I just brushed > them off as harmless warnings... do you think they are more than that? I had been assuming they are, given that they often coincide with other glitches and crashes. I've run very simple apps that generate them repeatedly, and they seem to crash after a while -- but I might well be mis-attributing the cause. And in some cases they coincide with glitches (eg, text entered in a table cell disappearing on tab/enter). The only reference I can find in searching is a similar message accompanying crashes in Growl. (I am getting other crashes, too. Showing a save or open panel, or using threaded animation with a progress bar, generates the [NSImage _allocAuxiliaryStorage] + 158 / -[NSImage copyWithZone:] + 66 crash others have reported here, and also disappears in 32-bit mode.) > >> Or should I just give up on compiling GC stuff under Xcode versions >> later than 4.3.3, and therefore 10.8? > > Clearly moving to ARC is in order... but it's no small task to just totally > change an applications's memory model out from underneath it... :( I wish. Unfortunately the changes in 10.8 mean any app that uses ARC and AppleScriptObjC is effectively a 10.8-only app. Not the solution to backwards compatibility I'm after. -- Shane Stanley <sstan...@myriad-com.com.au> 'AppleScriptObjC Explored' <www.macosxautomation.com/applescript/apps/> _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
