I am a Jr Software Developer, can I just change the (unsigned) to (NSUInteger) or will to create problems later?
- (unsigned)retainCount
{
return UINT_MAX; //denotes an object that cannot be released
}
warning said
MKStoreManager.m:88:1: Conflicting return type in implementation of 'retainCount': 'NSUInteger' (aka 'unsigned long') vs 'unsigned int'
I found a previous definition
- (NSUInteger)retainCount OBJC_ARC_UNAVAILABLE;
Your method must return NSUInteger
because that is how the retainCount
method is defined in NSObject
.
The error is being caused by the value you are trying to return. Instead of returning UINT_MAX
, you should return NSUIntegerMax
.
The underlying type for NSUInteger
changes depending on whether building for 32 or 64 bit. Accordingly, the value of NSUIntegerMax
also changes to match the type.
- (NSUInteger)retainCount
{
return NSUIntegerMax; //denotes an object that cannot be released
}
