[cl-objc-devel] cl-objc-leopard patch and NSString bug?

[Leigh Smith]

Ok, I'm answering my own question because it was rather silly in the  
first place and because of the incredible amount of response I got :-)

The code below crashes:

(in-package :cl-objc)
(setf pool (invoke 'ns-autorelease-pool alloc))
(invoke pool init)
(setf my-string (invoke 'ns-string alloc))
(invoke my-string :init-with-utf8-string "blah blah")
(invoke my-string utf8-string)

Because, subtly, my-string assigned by alloc is different to what init- 
with-utf8-string returns. So I should have done:

(setf my-string (invoke (invoke 'ns-string alloc) :init-with-utf8- 
string "blah blah"))
(invoke my-string utf8-string)

So using the result returned by :init-with-utf8-string then works  
fine, and I'm happy. Hope this helps someone.

P.S. You will still need the patch I enclosed in the previous post to  
be able to build cl-objc, however.
