Here's my position on this.... ObjC 2.0 will likely be included in a future release of GCC. This is entirely up to the GCC team as to when/if they want to include it in the standard distribution. If they do, GNUstep will start taking advantage of the new features available in the language and will do so in a way that's compatible with Mac OS X/Cocoa.

Is that because existing ObjC developers are *real* developers who don't _need_ any fancy garbage collection or fast enumeration? ;-) IMO, the new features look useful[*]...take-up of course depends on how quickly and how many developers are willing to leave OS X 10.<=4 behind. Which if Core Data on 10.4 was anything to go by, is quite a number and quite soon. Cheers, Graham. [*]in different contexts of course...garbage collection probably wouldn't be too attractive on existing code unless you know you've got a retaincount bug *glares at Cocoa Bindings* _______________________________________________ Discuss-gnustep mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss-gnustep _______________________________________________ Discuss-gnustep mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss-gnustep
