An xcconfig (Xcode configuration) file for easily turning on a boatload of warnings in your project or its targets.

Overview

Warnings

This is an xcconfig file to make it easy for you to turn on a large suite of useful warnings in your Xcode project. These warnings catch bugs, so turning them on may identify bugs you can fix now and having them on will prevent bugs later.

If you have an existing project you've developed without these warnings turned on, you probably will have a number of warnings after turning them on. These are bugs in your code, newly revealed—fixing the warnings is fixing bugs.

The file also turns on Treat Warnings as Errors—so you can't just ignore warnings; you must fix them in order to be able to build—and the setting to run the Clang Static Analyzer in every build, which will find even more bugs (mostly leaks and crashers).

If you are new to Objective-C, you may find that you encounter build errors more frequently when using these settings. That is correct, expected, and good—the errors are bugs that would otherwise have gone undetected! Use these settings to identify your bad habits and things you don't fully understand, and take the opportunities to learn. You will learn better and faster with these warnings enabled.

The xcconfig file

Usage

  1. Copy it to your own project's root directory (the directory containing the .xcodeproj package).
  2. Add it to the project. In a modern project, it should be at the top level, either at the top of the list or below all of the per-target groups.
  3. Edit the project object (the very topmost item in the Project Navigator).
  4. Select the project, not any target.
  5. Select the Info tab.
  6. Under Configurations, expand both/all of the configurations.
  7. For each configuration, set the pop-up menu for the project to “Warnings” (which is the xcconfig file you just added).

What if you're already using an xcconfig file?

Xcode supports preprocessor directives in xcconfig files, so you can #include the Warnings file from your existing xcconfig file.

The test project

WarningsTest is an Xcode project containing a unit test bundle target. The project uses the xcconfig file, and the tests demonstrate the kinds of bugs that the file tells the compiler to warn about.

Usage

Open it in Xcode, hold down on the verb button (the one that says Run by default) and choose Test. This will attempt to build the unit test bundle and run the tests.

It will fail, because the tests are all written to demonstrate the warnings, not to test other code. (There is no code under test.) Because of all the warnings and the Treat Warnings as Errors setting, the build will never succeed.

  • Enable warnings for Swift

    Enable warnings for Swift

    I've followed the direction in the README to attach warnings.xconfig to the project: image

    Then I've done some things to specifically test that some of these errors are thrown:

    // empty loop
for _ in 0..<3 { } 

// shadowed variable
var index = 0
func another(){
  var index = 3 
}

    I can build and run with no problem, however, and the errors aren't shown either as warnings or build blockers. Do I have this configured wrong? I'm probably doing something basic and silly, I'm very new to iOS, just want to start with guard rails.
