xCode 4.3+ and NASM

[J. Baker]

The update is $19.99 .
What worries me a bit is that I read somewhere that XCode doesn't support the gcc compiler anymore, only llvm .
One of my iOS apps didn't compile properly using llvm on Lion.

What can I do to verify for you? Do you have a small sample code I can compile and try?

It's not a few simple lines of code to test.
I could get my code to compile but due to some bug the behavior on my iOS device was not exactly as it should be.

What you could do is check what compilers are supported.
When you check the Build Settings of one of your own apps, under Build Options there is a line Compiler for C/C++/Objective-C (at least there is in the Xcode version I'm currently using).
The choices I have are Apple LLVM compiler 3.0 and LLVM GCC 4.2 (the one I'm using currently).
Can you tell me what options you have if there are any ?

[J. Baker]

I have Apple LLVM compiler 4.0 and LLVM GCC 4.2.

[wilbert]

I have Apple LLVM compiler 4.0 and LLVM GCC 4.2.

Thanks

Yes I did read that you should be able to choose between LLVM and GCC and even choose to use the GCC frontend with LLVM (or vice versa using Clang, I can't remember which! )

I have Apple LLVM compiler 4.0 and LLVM GCC 4.2.

Thanks

No problem. That's in xCode 4.4. There is a beta 4.5 but I don't believe that version can be used for submitting until it's final. Maybe you already knew that.

Interesting J. Baker!

I think I'll wait to see how it goes for you before I upgrade.

nasm is now packaged with PB since 4.70, so such issue shouldn't raise anymore.
