Re: CoreBase parse errors with ARC enabled

[Stefan Bidigaray]

Hi Jens,

I'm the (somewhat part-time) maintainer of CoreBase, so I can best speak to it.  Your best bet would be to use the current SVN code, as version 0.1 is sorely outdated.  The code compiles and tests (except for a few that are testing unimplemented functionality) work on all my platforms (ARM, x86 and AMD64 with GNU/Linux).

Please keep in mind, CF will probably be where you hit the most problems as it is still work-in-progress by all definitions.

Additionally, it is unaware of the ARC mechanism as I just haven't had time test against Clang with ARC.  I want to add this functionality, so I would gladly patch any bugs you might find.  I would likely get David's OK before doing so, though, as he's the most knowledgeable of the system since he wrote it.

Now that I've gotten ARC enabled (thanks, David!) the next roadblock is that it seems incompatible with CoreFoundation, or rather, CoreBase 0.1. See error below.

Not sure what's going on with this error — it looks like ARC is trying to manage refcounting of CF objects, which does not happen in Apple's implementation, even though it's the same compiler…
