Xcode 7235 errors!!!!! HELP!

[hssky97]

Hey everyone, I have been programming in Xcode for a couple months now. I have been making a few apps to test out, I started one today and it told me that their was 7235 errors! I looked over my code their was no errors on my part, then I clicked the error log and it looked like the ENTIRE foundation.framework was messed up! Here's an example; FOUNDATION_EXPORT NSUInteger NSRoundUpToMultipleOfPageSize(NSUInteger bytes); Expected '=' ,' . ' ' ; ' ,' 'asm' or '_attribute_' before 'NSUInteger'. So, basically it's that times 7235. So what should I do.....re-install foundation.framework or what?

I would first confirm if this affects your past apps. If not, then trying to reinstall the framework doesn't make sense. It would also confirm your source just an an issue.

I don't even know if there is a way to reinstall just a framework. Perhaps you'd have to reinstall all of Xcode.

Have u tried readding the framework to your build phases? or just create a new project and see what's wrong?

Are all of these errors in one file?
Are all of these errors in files that share a header file that you created?

It smells like there's an extraneous character in one of your files, hiding in front of a #import statement, that's causing the preprocessor to barf on the foundation header file.

Before you go about reinstalling Xcode only to find that the problem is still there, post a little bit of the code here and let some fresh eyes take a quick peek.

It doesn't affect my previous apps....hmmm. So I don't think I would need to re-install anything.

I have no idea what is going on! All of my previous apps work... it the pch. file that I think is creating the problem....I just don't know how to solve it??
I'll take some screenshots then post them here afterwords.

.pch file



Errors

Look at the error right before one of the Expected '='... errors, in the 3rd screenshot, I think.
It says Invalid preprocessing directive #indef.

Fix your spelling. I can't tell whether it should be #ifdef or #ifndef, but definitely not #indef.

If your other apps are not having this problem, then the problem is specific to your new apps source code. Now that you've shown us how the errors report on Apples include files, show us your source and any errors report on it. I think specifically the includes, imports, and @interface & @implementation lines. More broadly, the interface .h files and the source of the implementation file from the top down to and include the @implementation line.

My suspicion (wild guess) is that you have some rouge character between the top of a source file and down to a @interface & @implementation line. Maybe even you @interface & @implementation lines are not correctly formatted.

EDIT: I see chown33 has a very sharp eye.

Not Workin'

As I have said previously it was the .pch file that was causing the problem.... so I deleted it from the project to see what would happen.
The Good News the +7,000 errors went away! The code for the .pch file matches the code from previous apps line-by-line so why would it not work on new projects I'm starting? The Bad News I need that file for the app to function and I received only one error that looked like this;

Command/Volumes/Developer/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/usr/bin/gcc-4.2 failed with exit code 1

Soooo....how do I fix?????
