  • 0

I have started to use the FIXME, TODO, ??? and !!! tags in XCode but have am finding it painful that it does not recognise the tags when they are within a function. The tags are only recognised outside a given function.

How can I get these tags recognised within a function (as this is where the bugs are)?

    Xcode now supports //MARK:, //TODO: and //FIXME: landmarks to annotate your code and lists them in the jump bar.


    To find those special markups (and actually any markups you specify yourself), you can use the search navigator, enter the following string and then choose “In Project, matching regex “…”, ignore case”:

    (//FIXME|//!!!|//\?\?\?|//TODO)
    

    This will search your project for all those special markups. You can even add any markup you would like to, e.g. “//REVIEW: please review the following code”. This would then be the following search string:

    (//FIXME|//!!!|//\?\?\?|//TODO|//REVIEW)
    

    I created a tab in my workspace which has the search navigator always open, filled with this string. Unfortunately, XCode will sometimes remove this string from the searchbox, so you have to have it copy&paste ready whenever you need it.
