This fix forces a message to be sent to the handleEvent method
of the QemuCocoaView class instead of letting the system determine
the right method.

This is caused by the fact that the cocoaView variable is a generic 'id'.

----8<----
ui/cocoa.m: In function ‘cocoa_refresh’:
ui/cocoa.m:997: warning: multiple methods named ‘-handleEvent:’ found
/System/Library/Frameworks/AppKit.framework/Headers/NSTextInputContext.h:84: warning: using ‘-(BOOL)handleEvent:(NSEvent *)theEvent’
ui/cocoa.m:272: warning: also found ‘-(void)handleEvent:(NSEvent *)event’
----8<---

In that case I would prefer to change the variable definition, moving  
it further down, instead of introducing a cast.

Since I'm not seeing this issue on v10.5, it seems a new method was  
introduced by Apple in v10.6.

Not in NSView (QemuCocoaView's parent class):
http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/Cocoa/Reference/ 
ApplicationKit/Classes/NSView_Class/Reference/NSView.html

but in unrelated NSTextInputContext class:
http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/Cocoa/Reference/ 
NSTextInputContext_Class/Reference/Reference.html

So, it seems the warning stems from the name clash of two identical  
selectors "handleEvent:" with differing return type (void vs. BOOL). I  
vaguely remember seeing a patch that renames our method, either in  
Juha's 48-patch series Peter pointed to or in a patch by C.W. Betts.

If you haven't already, could you please check on that? Maybe it's  
safest to do both? Or to change our return type even if unused?

Andreas

I am working on a cleanup of the cocoa code. As a temporary fix, would
you accept a simple patch renaming handleEvent to handleGUIEvent in
order to avoid the compilation warning ?

Could you please test the new patch for the above solution that I just  
submitted?

Thanks,
