Pragma Mark missing in Xcode SDK

Question

I have written Pragma Mark after @implementation ViewController in .m file.

But Pragma Mark is not display in .m file whenever i have not synthesized any property. Why Xcode is restricting me for doing this ?

Even if other Pragma Marks is displayed. But the Pragma Mark written after @implementation ViewController is not displayed.

If i synthesized any single property after @implementation ViewController, then the Pragma Mark is displayed. I am not getting all this fus.

@implementation ViewController


# pragma  mark View Life cycle

- (void)viewDidLoad
{
    [super viewDidLoad];
    // Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
}

Can you show us the #pragma code snipped where the error occurs? What version of Xcode? — David Rönnqvist, Jan 10 '13 at 11:51
It is indeed missing. You should [file a bug](http://bugreporter.apple.com) — David Rönnqvist, Jan 10 '13 at 12:22
Appears to be a bug in Xcode 4.5/4.6. First pragma mark never shows. Worked fine in earlier versions. — dkmp, Apr 08 '13 at 19:58

Use in this way:

@implementation MainViewController
{}
#pragma YES
#pragma mark - Second -

You don't need to have multiple `#pragma`s like that. Any `-` surrounded by whitespace is turned into a separator e.g. `#pragma mark - First -`. I'm sure it's a stylistic choice but I find the multiline version painful on the eyes – Paul.s Jan 10 '13 at 11:59
i use separator to distinguish similar kind of methods like all ioactions, all tableview delgates, all textfield delegate to find it with ease. :) – Anoop Vaidya Jan 10 '13 at 12:01
@Anoop : Write #pragma mark exact after " implementation MainViewController " Then check it. – DipakSonara Jan 10 '13 at 12:04
Ok... Now I got your problem, for the first method you cant set pragma mark. – Anoop Vaidya Jan 10 '13 at 12:08
Now check the answer...a little bit of tweak. – Anoop Vaidya Jan 10 '13 at 12:11
@AnoopVaidya : Yes it is working. But why Xcode has behaving like this ? Is there any apple documentation for this ? – DipakSonara Jan 10 '13 at 12:15
that I dont know, but might be they missed to add there :) – Anoop Vaidya Jan 10 '13 at 12:28

Its may be an Xcode version Problem.

Because in Xcode 4.2 it shows proper.

i think it is working for Xcode 4.2. I am not able to do in Xcode 4.5 if i am not writing any synthesized property.

@Implementation ViewController

#pragma mark -
#pragma mark Init

this code doesn't display Init. when i am writing below code in Xcode 4.5

@Implementation ViewController

@synthesize txtlabel;

#pragma mark -
#pragma mark Init

above code displays Init, So i think its Xcode problem.

Thanks, Sagar.

Just to let you know you can abbreviate that to #pragma mark - Init – Nathan Day Jan 10 '13 at 12:09
