Drop Xc < 4 about kiwi HOT 9 CLOSED

I'd be happy to drop Xcode 3 support; in fact, when iOS5 is out, I'd be happy to drop < iOS 4 support too which means not having to worry about no block support. Less code to maintain too.

Absolutely. Also, I wonder how many people still use GCC.

I agree that dropping support for Xcode 3.x makes sense. However, I do use the blocks alternative so I can set breakpoints and debug within my tests. If there's a way to debug with blocks, I'd be happy to use them, but for now, I couldn't get debugging working unless I used the blocks alternative.

Joshua, could you try out the latest build of Kiwi.

I've just committed a change that lets you disable the Kiwi built-in macros by defining KIWI_DISABLE_MACRO_API.

The result is that the equivalent functions will be called directly. The use of macros was to enable the calling of these functions with call-site information for better error handling although it seems that Xcode 4 is able to show errors in the correct place without this.

As a result, by not using the macros, code completion appears to work correctly, as do breakpoints within your spec blocks!

Please test it out.

Works for me! Thanks for adding this!

This means I retract my previous comment - I'd be fine with support being dropped for the Blocks Alternative.

It also works for me.

All, I implemented the Xc4+ requirement by removing non-block support in the latest push.

Luke, I also removed the Kiwi macros (and the KIWI_DISABLE_MACRO_API since it is no longer relevant), and you are totally right, it works like a charm. I might be crazy but I don't usually write extra code for nothing, so I'll take another look just for sanity. Gosh, Xc3 was a PITA in this regard.

Shows you how much I have been slacking. :)

Allen: might be worth looking at mock failures; I do seem to recall seeing some issues when not using the macros in terms of error line reporting, but not for all failures.

Luke, will do.

Docs and Readme updated. Want to move everything to Github eventually. Anyone have tips on how to get Github to host those fancy looking landing pages or how to manage the Kiwi website? I don't really enjoying editing HTML files by hand.
