Re: Objective-C boilerplate header (sort of like boost)

[Ivan Vučica]

I never needed something like what you wrote. That stuff belongs in a framework. If a compiler doesn't support an attribute that I need (and I typically don't need attributes), then I don't support the compiler.

Objective-C modules also doesn't really need anything special to expose C functions to modules written in C, except perhaps an extern "C" in case a header defining C functions is included by a C++ module.

So no, I don't typically have things like what you wrote down there :-)

I mean exposing a function or two from Objective-C code so that it can be accessed from other languages. There is no reason to prevent a function with signature CGIApplicationMain(int, const char **, const char *restrict, const char *restrict); from being exposed, right?

Also, the inline function wrapper for [NSString stringWithFormat:] can be really useful.

Why...would anyone want to do that? The whole point of OOP is to hide details so as to allow programmers to concentrate on one thing at a time (while giving us the bonus of modular, reusable, easily maintainable code). Why would you want/need to unhide details?

Copied from Xcode and Mail saved all formatting from code highlighting as RTF. The code boilerplate is what I always use as a start point of my code. It makes it possible to expose some Objective-C code as plain C/C++ as I did in CGIKit 5, and it detects compiler. I have a newer version that does easy string constant too.

Colorful text is colorful! So what is this "boilerplate" thing exactly? I've heard the _expression_ before but not quite sure what it refers to.

Do you guys have a boilerplate that you are very used to build code on top of? I have one like this (sans include guard which depend on header file name):
