Question

I have this code:

typedef void (^OutputBlockType) (void (^) (NSString*));

static  OutputBlockType outputBlock;


+(void) logMessage:(NSString*) msg {
 NSString* bla = @"bla"; 
 outputBlock(bla);
}

Granted, that the original code is a bit more complex. Still.. Xcode (4.3) is not happy with this code and throws me an

(^_strong)(NSString *__strong)’;

message which, basically, tells me nothing at all. Does anyone have a clue as to what I’m doing wrong here?
