[ios] the correct behavior of nsoperation waitUntilFinished

from network search: 

think you may have missed expectations for the behavior. If you are expecting the completionBlock to be fired beforewaitUntilFinished releases the control flow, then your expectations are out of alignment. The completion block is dispatched asynchronously back to the success/failure queue, so its not going to be triggered until the run loop spins.

What you can do instead is waitUntilFinished and then access the responsePropertyList and errorproperties of the operation instead of the completion block.

[ios] IBOutlet but no synthesize

In Xcode 4.4 (specifically, the LLVM 4.0 Compiler), synthesis of properties happens by default if there's no @synthesize directive. It's equivalent to:

@synthesize nameField = _nameField;

Build directshow strmbase.lib in Windows 8

To build directshow strmbase.lib, here is the step when using dx9b.
Open \dx90bsdk\Samples\C++\DirectShow\BaseClasses\baseclasses.sln
in Visual Studio 2012.
Compile and fix error:
1. add c/c++ prepocessor definitions:

    POINTER_64=__ptr64

2. fix for loop variable declare

outputq.cpp:
for (long iDone = 0;
-->
long iDone;
for (iDone = 0;

winutil.cpp:
for (UINT Count = 0;Count < Result;Count++) {
->
UINT Count = 0;
for (Count = 0;Count < Result;Count++) { 

wxdebug.cpp
static g_dwLastRefresh = 0;
->
static int g_dwLastRefresh = 0;

3. sysclock.cpp, add g_Templates & g_cTemplates to fix link error

//#ifdef FILTER_DLL
/* List of class IDs and creator functions for the class factory. This
   provides the link between the OLE entry point in the DLL and an object
   being created. The class factory will call the static CreateInstance
   function when it is asked to create a CLSID_SystemClock object */
CFactoryTemplate g_Templates[1] = {
    {NULL, &CLSID_SystemClock, CSystemClock::CreateInstance}
};
int g_cTemplates = sizeof(g_Templates) / sizeof(g_Templates[0]);
//#endif
