Re: Mixing X and GNUstep

[Raffael Herzog]

Hi,

I've got more information, now... I recompiled all the GNUstep stuff with 
"debug=yes" and analyzed the segfault a bit more.

I changed +isDocumentBasedApplication: of NSDocumentController as follows:

 + (BOOL) isDocumentBasedApplication
 {
     NSBundle *bundle = [NSBundle mainBundle];
     NSLog([NSString stringWithFormat: @"Got bundle: 0x%08lx", bundle]);
     NSDictionary *dict = [bundle infoDictionary];
     NSLog([NSString stringWithFormat: @"Got dictionary: 0x%08lx", dict]);
     id obj = [dict objectForKey: NSTypesKey];
     NSLog([NSString stringWithFormat: @"Got object for NSTypesKey: 0x%08lx", 
obj]);
     if ( obj ) {
         NSLog(@"Document based");
         return YES;
     }
     else {
         NSLog(@"NOT document based");
         return NO;
     }
 //  return ([[[NSBundle mainBundle] infoDictionary] objectForKey: NSTypesKey])
 //     ? YES : NO;
 }

And here's the output:

 [...]

This means, that it's the the call of -infoDictionary that makes the 
application crash. Reproduced many times, it's always the same thing, so it 
doesn't seem to be anything that happens randomly.

 The difference between theory and practice is that in theory, there is
                no difference, but in practice, there is.
