Re: Returning values from objc_msgSend etc

Thanks for all the help on this. Rococoa uses JNA, which in turns uses libffi, so I'm also spared most of the heavy lifting, but like Sherm, I do have to make all the decisions at runtime. Greg's post is the most definitive thing I've seen on the subject - thank you. >> * Should I call objc_msgSe

[ANN] UKCrashReporter 0.3

Unit Tests - mainWindow, keyWindow

When running my application's tests i cannot figure out why the NSWindow and NSApplication properties relating to the keyWindow and mainWindow (and others that depend on them, like NSDocumentController's currentDocument) are always null. I have my application configured as the 'Test Host' for it
