Swizzle retain/release/autorelease to debug busted reference counting
// Use with https://github.com/rentzsch/jrswizzle
// MIT license
// After your program dies because with a zombie, examine [theBigLog objectForKey:@"0x12345"], subbing the address of the thing that died. You can get stack traces referred to in the logs by looking up the "stack-12345" numbers in the same dict. To track a particular object, add [NSValue valueWithPointer:myobject] to debugList in a @synchronized block.

Lets help improve AppKit.

Is AppKit causing you frustration? Instead of just complaining about it, lets try to make it better by compiling a list of specific problems with AppKit. Leave a comment below, and I'll include it in the list.


##NSView##

  • NSView does not have the ability to set an affine transform (rdar://15608609)
  • Controls that have cells (such as NSTextField) do not respond properly when layer-backed. Take NSButton as an example. When not layer-backed, it will animate properly using the animator proxy. When layer-backed, using the animator proxy breaks focus rings (they jump to destination immediately). Currently, directly manipulating the layer of a cell-based control is not supported (and will lead to a broken interface), but is much needed. (rdar://15608822)

##NSViewController##

  • NSViewController could be more useful. It has -loadView but no other lifecycle methods. (rdar://15608948)

Find oldest lines in git repository
#!/usr/bin/perl
# This script parses Git blame's "porcelain" output format and
# ascertains the oldest lines of code seen.
#
# If you want to perform a custom report, just define your own callback
# function and invoke parse_porcelain() with it.
#
# The expected input format is slightly modified from raw `git blame
# -p`. Here is an example script for producing input:
