Hi, In Grr there is this code: =C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 wsAndTagClosing =3D [NSMutableCharacterSet characterSetWithCharactersInString: @"/>"]; Clang warns me with: NSString+TolerantHTML.m:109:21: warning: incompatible pointer types assigning to 'NSMutableCharacterSet *' from 'NSCharacterSet *' [-Wincompatible-pointer-types] =C2=A0 109 |=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 wsAndTagClosing =3D [NSMutableCharac= terSet characterSetWithCharactersInString: @"/>"]; GCC gives a more generic issue about "distinct objective C type". Now, characterSetWithCharactersInString: is a class method of NSCharacterSet: https://www.gnustep.org/resources/documentation/Developer/Base/Reference/= NSCharacterSet.html#method$NSCharacterSet+characterSetWithCharactersInStr= ing$ and NSMutableCharacterSet is a subclass of NSCharacterSet Shouldn't thus the method called on the subclass still return a valid subclass and not the superclass? Could it be a header issue? we define it as: + (NSCharacterSet*) characterSetWithCharactersInString: (NSString*)aStrin= g; maybe it should return instancetype? Just wondering & asking. Riccardo
