I don't think so, although I would expect a C lib somewhere to address it.
Anyway, isn't easier to just always abs(x)%y?
abs(x)%y
Doesn’t give the same result, it’s one off:
myIndex: -5 myMod: 1 abs(x)%y: 2
myIndex: -4 myMod: 2 abs(x)%y: 1
myIndex: -3 myMod: 0 abs(x)%y: 0
myIndex: -2 myMod: 1 abs(x)%y: 2
myIndex: -1 myMod: 2 abs(x)%y: 1
myIndex: 0 myMod: 0 abs(x)%y: 0
myIndex: 1 myMod: 1 abs(x)%y: 1
myIndex: 2 myMod: 2 abs(x)%y: 2
myIndex: 3 myMod: 0 abs(x)%y: 0
myIndex: 4 myMod: 1 abs(x)%y: 1
Where:
myIndex = input value.
myMod = result of calling the mod function I added.
abs(x)%y = abs(x)%y.
Maybe my brain isn't working correctly but that doesn't make sense to me.
Could you show the output with both x and y shown? Now, you aren't dividing
by a negative integer, are you? I believe that is undefined…
I’m not doing any division, the function for “myMod” is as I posted:
Try it yourself:
NSInteger myIndex;
NSInteger myNewIndex;
NSInteger myNewNewIndex;
for (myIndex = -5;myIndex 5;myIndex++)
{
myNewIndex = [self modulusWithDividend:myIndex andDivisor:3];
myNewNewIndex = abs(myIndex) % 3;
NSLog(@myIndex: %i myNewIndex: %i myNewNewIndex:
%i,myIndex,myNewIndex,myNewNewIndex);
}
—
If you think of the number as being used as an Index into an NSArray, you can
see why a true mod function is better, e.g. -1 gets you the last element, -2
the second from last and so on.

NSMenu in NSTableView column
Hi all, I am trying to implement a popup menu in an NSTableView column. I seem to have the bindings all set up so that the values in my NSArray are updated according to the options the user selects in the table. However, I would like to have some way of accessing the tag on the menu item that was selected for each row. I thought I could wire up an outlet to the NSMenu object attached to the table column, but when I later attempt to access the relevant menu item in the menu (in order to look up its tag), I get the following runtime error: -[NSMenu itemAtIndex:]: message sent to deallocated instance I do not encounter this error if I bind to a standalone popup menu, so I don't think I'm doing anything wildly stupid here. I can imagine that within the table the popup menu objects are being dynamically allocated, so the outlet plan isn't working out. My question then is how should I access the tags in the popup menu in order to work out which tag corresponds to the selected item in each row?

Re: When to call super
Is there a sure-fire way, no. It’s usually fairly clear however. Normally you call super if you override a method unless it tells you not to in the documentation or you are clearly trying to make something NOT do what the superclass did. I suppose my handwaving rule is if a method ‘does’ something and you override it to do more stuff as well, you probably still want the old stuff one, so call super (viewDidAppear: .. etc). If you are overriding a method which calculates and returns something, then unless you want the result super gives you as a starting point, since you are returning a calculation, you don’t want to call super (eg hitTest:withEvent:) The docs for UIView’s drawRect: for instance tell you when to and when not to so some are documented to help you For those cases you list below, two of them are documented to throw exceptions, so you wouldn’t call them and the last one is a delegate method, so it doesn’t have a super. I know they were just examples you picked at random, but you can often come up with the right answer just by asking, what does the superclass method do, and do I still want it to do that.

Yes, this is what this thread is about. % was wrongly given the description of the modulus function in the 1960s/1970s and as a result of that one mis-naming “%” in C has been thought as a Modulus operation by a lot of people ever since (and it continues to be mis-described to this very day). The “%” character means a “remainder” not a “Modulus”, but are useful, but in this case I really wanted modulus. Most of the time remainder and modulus are the same thing, but when you introduce negative numbers remainder becomes a mirror image of the positive domain, where as modulus stays the same. I’m not sure what you mean by dividing by a negative number is undefined? It seems to work ok for what I’m doing in another place: NSInteger myIndex; CGPoint myStartPoint; CGSize mySize; myStartPoint = -640; mySize.width = 320; myIndex = myStartPoint.x / mySize.width; myIndex = -2 as expected.

Re: NSMenu in NSTableView column
My question then is how should I access the tags in the popup menu in order to work out which tag corresponds to the selected item in each row? If I understand your setup correctly, the most direct route is to set an action on each menu item. Ah ok, I've revisited that and got it to work.

However I've now spotted the compile-time warning about only sending actions to the table view delegate, and after fixing that it works nicely. Thanks very much. Jonny Actually, I'm not sure that solves my problem as easily as I thought. I'll just restate what I'm trying to achieve to make sure I'm being clear, and then explain the difficulty I'm having in making it work. Each menu item string is a user-readable description of a signal channel, each is associated with a numerical channel ID. However there isn't a natural and obvious relationship between the index of the menu item and the channel ID. It seems sensible to me to have the menu item strings defined in the same place as the numerical IDs. I can imagine two ways of doing this: 1. Define the menu item strings in InterfaceBuilder as menu items, and give each one a tag representing the channel ID. This is what I have been trying to do, but I can't work out how my code should identify the tag associated with the menu item index (which is what I get in my NSArray representing the current state of the table). I can put an action on the menu item, but at the time that is called I don't know which row's menu has just been selected. Also (rather unexpectedly), putting an action on the menu item seems to prevent the selected index binding of the popup cell from being updated. 2. Define the menu item strings and associated channel IDs in my code, and use bindings to populate the menu items. I did try that, but haven't managed to get my strings showing up in the menu. Can anyone recommend clear instructions for making that work? I think I maybe don't properly understand the difference between content values and content, and what exactly they need to be bound to... Any thoughts about how to make either of these work? Cheers Jonny ___ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.

iOS watchdog timeout at startup vs later?
Hi. Is the timeout (the one that kills your app if the main run loop blocks for too long) longer during app startup than after it's running? I'm concerned about the Core Data migration my app does at startup. I will eventually move it to work on a background thread, but I'd like to punt that to the next release in the interests of time. Testing shows very large data sets migrate in less than 10 seconds, and that seems to be acceptable to iOS, but I'd like to know how much wiggle room I have (it's hard for us to make large data sets for this kind of testing, so I can't really just make larger ones to test with).

How do I get a black status bar?
I'd like to get a black-background, white-text status bar across my app. But I can't seem to figure out how. I set the Info.plist property for it, and set it to not be controlled by view controllers, but it's always a completely transparent background. What am I missing?

Re: iOS watchdog timeout at startup vs later?
In most cases, migration is very fast, and therefore not a problem. I'm trying to gauge how big a data set I can migrate before it becomes a problem. So, an answer to my actual question would be helpful. I don't care that it may change in the future, I'd like to know what it is now.

Thanks for reminding me of that. I knew this was the case, but I'm fighting a designer who wants the black background.

Folly or not (and I think that it is), your question is unanswerable. It's not documented. You can't rely on it being any particular value. It's not even guaranteed to be constant. You also don't get to choose which devices you support; Apple does. There's no field for supported device speed in iTunes Connect. If your reviewer happens to test on a configuration you consider unsupported, and your app times out during launch, you are looking at a rejection. And since there's no such thing as a partial migration, if it crashes once, it's likely to do it reliably. I'm sorry to keep pounding on this but my conscience will only allow me to advise you to adopt the correct solution. --Kyle Sluder ___ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.

Re: NSSpellChecker exception
NSSpellChecker uses DO to connect with the spellchecker process. It properly handles any exceptions that may result, so these exceptions would be caught and handled and you do not need to be reporting them.

However I've now spotted the compile-time warning about only sending actions to the table view delegate, and after fixing that it works nicely. Thanks very much. Jonny Actually, I'm not sure that solves my problem as easily as I thought. I'll just restate what I'm trying to achieve to make sure I'm being clear, and then explain the difficulty I'm having in making it work. Each menu item string is a user-readable description of a signal channel, each is associated with a numerical channel ID. However there isn't a natural and obvious relationship between the index of the menu item and the channel ID. It seems sensible to me to have the menu item strings defined in the same place as the numerical IDs. I can imagine two ways of doing this: 1. Define the menu item strings in InterfaceBuilder as menu items, and give each one a tag representing the channel ID. This is what I have been trying to do, but I can't work out how my code should identify the tag associated with the menu item index (which is what I get in my NSArray representing the current state of the table). I can put an action on the menu item, but at the time that is called I don't know which row's menu has just been selected. Also (rather unexpectedly), putting an action on the menu item seems to prevent the selected index binding of the popup cell from being updated. 2. Define the menu item strings and associated channel IDs in my code, and use bindings to populate the menu items. I did try that, but haven't managed to get my strings showing up in the menu. Can anyone recommend clear instructions for making that work? I think I maybe don't properly understand the difference between content values and content, and what exactly they need to be bound to... Any thoughts about how to make either of these work? I would create a class, say, SignalChannel, with name (for description, but we may not ant to use description for obvious reasons...) and channelID properties. I would then populate the NSPopupButtonCell with SignalChannel objects. This will abstract the model from the view, which is better form anyway. HTH, Keary Suska Esoteritech, Inc.

It sure as hell better be defined, hadn't it? We wouldn't want a language where the basic math ops were that foobar'd! Now in KR C, the direction of truncation was undefined for division with negative integers, but C99 fixed that. Yes, I saw that from the digging I did, I think that’s what he meant. Yes, that--I didn't realize that C99 fixed that as well. I just figured reasonable compilers handled it reasonably ;-) Although I thought there was still some issue with modulus implementations, but I don't recall exactly. Probably also old information.
