#pragma mark not listing the first group name

Question

I'm using #pragma mark for grouping my methods under certain categories. But the issue is in Xcode 4 my first category is not displaying.

My code looks like:

@interface MyClass : NSObject

#pragma mark -
#pragma mark Category 1

//Some method declaration

#pragma mark -
#pragma mark Category 2

//Some method declaration

#pragma mark -
#pragma mark Category 3

//Some method declaration
@end

But when I check on Xcode It displays only Category 2 and Category 3. Category 1 is not listed there, please check the Image Pragma Issue

Is there any issue in my code or is it a bug in XCode ?

@borrrden: thanks, anoop's answer fixed this issue. Bug in Xcode also :) — Midhun MP, Mar 15 '13 at 11:09

Yes it is a Bug here.

But you can override this bug to your requirement by just adding {} in your interface .h file/ as well as in implementation / .m file :

@implementation AppDelegate
{}

#pragma mark -
#pragma mark Category 1

-(void)awakeFromNib{

}

Also, no need to use two #pragma, you can combine both of them into one as :

#pragma mark - Category 1

+1 Beat me to it. It seems that Xcode still expects the old way of writing classes. Also note that this works for `@interface` as well (which is the code in the OP's question) – borrrden Mar 15 '13 at 10:55
@borrrden: Yes even for .h and .m has the same issue, and in hurry I did in .m ;) – Anoop Vaidya Mar 15 '13 at 10:58
Just wanted to point it out in case someone felt like saying "Hey, that's the .m file not the .h file!!" – borrrden Mar 15 '13 at 10:59
@borrrden: or should i change the code snippet and screen shot also? – Anoop Vaidya Mar 15 '13 at 11:03

Another clean way to go : just add a simple ;.

@implementation AppDelegate;

#pragma mark - Category 1
