I don't see any options for the FSPathMoveObjectToTrashSync() function for not following links. Here is what I have tried Create a link and a file [ 21:32:41 /tmp ] $ touch my_file [ 21:32:45 /tmp ] $ ln -s my_file my_link [ 21:32:52 /tmp ] $ la total 8 drwxrwxrwt 12 root wheel 408 17 Maj 21:32 . drwxr-xr-x@ 6 root wheel 204 9 Sep 2009 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 neoneye wheel 0 17 Maj 21:32 my_file lrwxr-xr-x 1 neoneye wheel 7 17 Maj 21:32 my_link -> my_file Move the link to the trash OSStatus status = FSPathMoveObjectToTrashSync( "/tmp/my_link", NULL, kFSFileOperationDefaultOptions ); NSLog(@"status: %i", (int)status); Output is status: 0 However the file got removed and not the link [ 21:32:55 /tmp ] $ la total 8 drwxrwxrwt 11 root wheel 374 17 Maj 21:33 . drwxr-xr-x@ 6 root wheel 204 9 Sep 2009 .. lrwxr-xr-x 1 neoneye wheel 7 17 Maj 21:32 my_link -> my_file [ 21:33:05 /tmp ] $ How can I move move symlinks to the trash?

Catch isn't working

- by neoneye

I'm baffled. What could be causing 'catch' not to be working and how do I fix it? <?php try { throw new Exception('BOOM'); error_log("should not happen"); } catch(Exception $e) { error_log("should happen: " . $e->getMessage()); } ?> Actual output [27-Apr-2010 09:43:24] PHP Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Exception' with message 'BOOM' in /mycode/exception_problem/index.php:4 Stack trace: #0 {main} thrown in /mycode/exception_problem/index.php on line 4 Desired output should happen: BOOM PHP version 5.2.3 In php_info() I don't see anywhere exceptions could have been disabled. I have tried with "restore_exception_handler();" but that doesn't make the catch block working. I have also tried with "set_exception_handler(NULL);" but that neither make the catch block working. How do I get the desired output?

addSubview and autosizing

- by neoneye

How does one add views to a window, so that the views are resized to fit within the window frame? The problem I'm making a sheet window containing 2 views, where only one of them is visible at a time, so it's important that the views have the same size as the window. My problem is that either view0 fits correctly and view1 doesn't or the other way around. I can't figure out how to give them the same size as the window. Possible solution I could just make sure that both views have precisely the same size within Interface Builder, then it would work. However I'm looking for a way to do this programmatically. Screenshot of view0 Below you can see the autoresizing problem in the top and the right side, where the view is somehow clipped. Screenshot of view1 This view is resized correctly. Here is my code Can the views be resized before adding them to the window. Or is it better to do as I do now where the views are added one by one while changing the window frame. How do you do it? NSView* view0 = /* a view made with IB */; NSView* view1 = /* another view made with IB */; NSWindow* window = [self window]; NSRect window_frame = [window frame]; NSView* cv = [[[NSView alloc] initWithFrame:window_frame] autorelease]; [window setContentView:cv]; [cv setAutoresizesSubviews:YES]; // add subview so it fits within the contentview frame { NSView* v = view0; [v setHidden:YES]; [v setAutoresizesSubviews:NO]; [cv addSubview:v]; [v setFrameOrigin:NSZeroPoint]; [window setFrame:[v frame] display:NO]; [v setAutoresizesSubviews:YES]; } // add subview so it fits within the contentview frame { NSView* v = view1; [v setHidden:YES]; [v setAutoresizesSubviews:NO]; [cv addSubview:v]; [v setFrameOrigin:NSZeroPoint]; [window setFrame:[v frame] display:NO]; [v setAutoresizesSubviews:YES]; } // restore original window frame [window setFrame:window_frame display:YES]; [view0 setHidden:NO]; [view1 setHidden:YES];

Storing arrays in NSUserDefaultsController

- by neoneye

Currently I use NSUserDefaults and I'm interested in using NSUserDefaultsController, so that I get notifications when things change. Below is my current code. items = /* NSArray of MYItem's */; NSData* data = [NSKeyedArchiver archivedDataWithRootObject:items]; [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] setObject:data forKey:kMYItems]; How should I rework my code to store items in NSUserDefaultsController ? Is NSKeyedArchiver the smartest way to store arrays? @interface MYItem : NSObject <NSCoding> { NSString* name; NSString* path; } @property (copy) NSString* name; @property (copy) NSString* path; @end @implementation MYItem @synthesize name, path; -(void)encodeWithCoder:(NSCoder*)coder { [coder encodeObject:name forKey:@"name"]; [coder encodeObject:path forKey:@"path"]; } -(id)initWithCoder:(NSCoder*)coder { [super init]; [self setName:[coder decodeObjectForKey:@"name"]]; [self setPath:[coder decodeObjectForKey:@"path"]]; return self; } @end

Catch not working and how to unset the exception handler

- by neoneye

catch is not working because there is installed an exception handler using set_exception_handler() I need "catch" to work, so I guess I need to unset the exception handler somehow. Things such as set_exception_handler(NULL) isn't working. Any ideas how to unset the exception handler? function my_exception_handler($exception) { error_log("caught exception: " . $exception->getMessage() ); } set_exception_handler("my_exception_handler"); // QUESTION: how does on unset it ? //set_exception_handler(NULL); try { throw new Exception('hello world'); error_log("should not happen"); } catch(Exception $e) { error_log("should happen: " . $e->getMessage()); } Actual output: caught exception: hello world Desired output: should happen: hello world

Best build dir location to use in Xcode

- by neoneye

I'm consolidating my Xcode/TextMate setup and is interested in where you put your build dir. Some years ago I started out having the build dir in the same dir as my xcodeproj file. However it became a mess when my project became a multi project with a applications and frameworks and tests, so I started using ../build as the build dir, so that all the sub projects used the same dir. However Spotlight is indexing this build dir and TextMate's global find is unusable when there is a build dir in the project. I'm thinking either using ~/.build or /build as Xcode's build dir. What build dir do you use and why?

Can NSTask safely be used outside the main thread?

- by neoneye

Yesterday I read somewhere that NSTask isn't thread safe and that bothers me a lot, because I'm running a NSTask within a NSThread and is so far not experiencing any threading issues with it. My code is organized like this A: main thread -> B: worker thread -> C: worker task C: The worker task is a commandline program. B: The worker thread can start/stop the worker task and send it commands. A: The main thread can send commands to the worker thread. If NSTask is supposed to be used only within the main thread, then I'm considering moving the NSTask start/stop code to the main thread, just to prevent possible threading issues. Can NSTask be used outside the main thread? And if not then what may be the threading issues with NSTask?

git-diff to ignore ^M

- by neoneye

In a project where some of the files contains ^M as newline separators. Diffing these files are apparently impossible, since git-diff sees it as the entire file is just a single line. How does one diff with the previous version? Is there an option like "treat ^M as newline when diffing" ? prompt> git-diff "HEAD^" -- MyFile.as diff --git a/myproject/MyFile.as b/myproject/MyFile.as index be78321..a393ba3 100644 --- a/myproject/MyFile.cpp +++ b/myproject/MyFile.cpp @@ -1 +1 @@ -<U+FEFF>import flash.events.MouseEvent;^Mimport mx.controls.*;^Mimport mx.utils.Delegate \ No newline at end of file +<U+FEFF>import flash.events.MouseEvent;^Mimport mx.controls.*;^Mimport mx.utils.Delegate \ No newline at end of file prompt> UPDATE: now I have written a script that checks out the latest 10 revisions and converts CR to LF. require 'fileutils' if ARGV.size != 3 puts "a git-path must be provided" puts "a filename must be provided" puts "a result-dir must be provided" puts "example:" puts "ruby gitcrdiff.rb project/dir1/dir2/dir3/ SomeFile.cpp tmp_somefile" exit(1) end gitpath = ARGV[0] filename = ARGV[1] resultdir = ARGV[2] unless FileTest.exist?(".git") puts "this command must be run in the same dir as where .git resides" exit(1) end if FileTest.exist?(resultdir) puts "the result dir must not exist" exit(1) end FileUtils.mkdir(resultdir) 10.times do |i| revision = "^" * i cmd = "git show HEAD#{revision}:#{gitpath}#{filename} | tr '\\r' '\\n' > #{resultdir}/#{filename}_rev#{i}" puts cmd system cmd end

list of uids / names of System Preferences > Accounts

- by neoneye

How can I obtain an array with uid and names? I could iterate from 0 to 99999 and do a getpwnam(). However most machines have less than 5 accounts, so it's not optimal. I don't know what framework is responsible for this and thus I have no clue what to search for. Is there a more optimal solution that can traverse the accounts?
