#pragma mark not showing in methods in Xcode 4.0

Question

In Xcode Version 4.0 I notice that #pragma marks within methods are no longer showing up in the Jump Bar. The only #pragma marks that are showing up are those that are betwe

Apparently there are some issues in the pragma parser in Xcode. In my case I could make the #pragmas re-appear by unificating their syntax to the new one.

Instead of having not uniform and messy chunks of code with some pragmas in it:

// Code ...
#pragma mark -
#pragma mark UITextViewDelegate Protocol

// More code ...
# pragma mark - Important stuff
// Even more code ...

I changed everything to:

// Code ...

#pragma mark - UITextViewDelegate Protocol

// More code ...

# pragma mark - Important stuff

// Even more code ...

Basically, I made sure...

• there is one blank line before and after the #pragma line.
• there is only one space before and another after the -.
• the pragma line does not end with an space.

UPDATE

I've realized that sometimes above rules are not enough if the project is broken somewhere. ( I tried moving some sources to a new project and they showed correctly). So what I did is close my project, delete its derived data from the organizer and also delete these two folders

MyProject.xcodeproj/project.xcworkspace/
MyProject.xcodeproj/xcuserdata/

So next time I open my project Xcode will re-generate them :)

Now ALL my sources are OK again :)
