IB plugins

Hi I'm working my way through the IB plugin documentation and have hit a point where step 2 in under "Configuring a Library Object Template" bears no resemblance whatsoever to anything in the Xcode project or the IB files. What the heck are they referring to? And how do I adapt that to th

Hi Christian If you really want a function to appear in multiple object files you could declare them static, like in: static void vec_zero2(int *vect) { vec[0] = vec[1] = 0; } This is sometimes useful if you want to inline small functions and not use preprocessor macros like this: stat
