I switched over to Xcode 4 while it was in beta, and I have mostly been editing existing code so haven't really considered this much until now...
Apple's file templates seem to have switched convention for coding methods. As an example, a pre-Xcode 4 dealloc
method looked like this:
- (void)dealloc {
[super dealloc];
}
In Xcode 4, they now use this style:
- (void)dealloc
{
[super dealloc];
}
As an avid perfectionist and irritable person, this has me quite miffed! I was brought up on the previous style in Xcode itself, and I'm now finding myself going through every template each time I create one to put the brackets back in the right place!
Please tell me this is a default option that I can change... or will I have to change my own coding style to match (or worse still, "learn to live with it" [shudder]!).
As far as I know, there's no default option you can change; however:
If you are creating files, you can edit the files in /Developer/Library/Xcode/Templates
to your desired coding style.
As for the snippets in the editor, that are inserted when you type dealloc
alone, and the like; these appear to come from /Developer/Library/Xcode/PrivatePlugins/IDECodeSnippetLibrary.plugin
I wouldn't necessarily recommend editing the files in there; but it's an option.
Edit: In order to prevent Xcode updates from breaking your perfectionized templates, you could probably chmod -w
them, which should prevent updates from touching them; but it might cause updates to fail altogether.
