Re: gnustep-gui and blocks support

[Luboš Doležel]

OK, so except for AUTORELEASE(controller) it would work well. I
obviously have to RELEASE() the controller only when the dialog is
closing.

I've also found out how you maintain ABI compatibility when adding
ivars. The same way as it's typically done in C++.

But I also need to use Block_copy (and Block_release) when copying the
block to self, since beginWithCompletionHandler is asynchronous.

I haven't found a macro/solution for these calls. How to deal with that?
