Hi,

I have derived from a 3rd party class, and when I attempt to call a method in the base class, I get the x may not respond to y compiler warning.

How can I remove the warning?

Repro:

@interface ThirdPartyBaseClass : NSObject {}
+(id)build;
-(void)doStuff;
@end

@implementation ThirdPartyBaseClass
+(id) build{
    return [[[self alloc] init] autorelease];
}
-(void)doStuff{ 
}
@end

@interface MyDerivedClass : ThirdPartyBaseClass {}
+(id)buildMySelf;
@end

@implementation MyDerivedClass
+(id)buildMySelf{
    self = [ThirdPartyBaseClass build];
    [self doStuff]; // compiler warning here - 'MyDerivedClass' may not respond to '+doStuff'
return self;
}
@end

Thanks!
