NSThread: Selector not found - cocoa

I'm a bit confused why my NSThread cannot be instantiated using a selector due to a runtime error
target does not implement selector (*** -[FileSearcher processFilesAsync:])
The function is defined like this
func processFilesAsync(#data: [String])
and the NSThread will be created this way:
NSThread(target: self, selector: "processFilesAsync:", object: itemsPerThread[i])
"itemsPerThread" is just a dictionary with a String-Array as values.
As far as I know this should work as the method I want to invoke defines an argument and the selector I pass into NSThread's init() method indicates that the target method expects exactly one argument.
I already tried using Swift's "Selector" type instead of only a string but this didn't work as well. I also tried to change the method's type from "[String]" to "AnyObject" which didn't work, too.
Does anybody have a clue what might be wrong?
All of the code above lies within the same class.
I'm using Xcode 6 Beta 5.
Edit
I figured out that is has to do something with the parameter. I implemented a dummy method without parameters and tried to set this as target and it worked. As soon as I modified it to use a parameter as well -> same as above.

Found it. All I had to do was to change the parameter's type from AnyObject to AnyObject?. It even works with specialised types (in my case [String]? instead of [String]).
Of course, because you can call it nil as parameter...

Detect if golang method is internal?

I'm writing a function that iterates over the methods on a given struct and binds the methods to handlers. I would like to skip over internal methods if possible. I'm not sure if this is possible to do so explicitly - I reviewed the documentation for the reflect package and I didn't see a means to detect if a given Value is an internal method. I know I can get the method's name, and then check if it starts with a lowercase character but I'm not sure if there's a kosher way to accomplish this. It's also possible that the internal / public boundary really only exists at compile time anyways, so there really isn't even a way of knowing this beyond the method's name. In either case I'd like to know for sure. Thanks!
The reflect package will not give you unexported methods via Type.Method. Pretty much, if you can see it via reflect, it is already exported.

XCode 7.3.1 very odd autocomplete error

Something odd has started happening with a new Swift project I've created
You can see that I have a class called ViewController which is of type UIViewController
I have a function called someFunction that takes an input String? and give a String of "ABCDEFG". Simple right?
Well when I try to assign a class variable the output of that function you can see that autocomplete thinks someFunction requires (self: ViewController) input and it should instead take a String? input
Does anyone know what is happening here? It's driving me crazy
So it turns out I derped pretty hard.
I was trying to utilize a member only function from within a scope where the class hadn't been instantiated.
Instantiate your classes first kids...

How to use a method as an argument of another method when they have different types in java?

I need to add a method inside this add(null) method but the method has a string argument like the following
private double mymethod(String writing) // This is the method which must replace
// the null value inside the add(null) method
but since it has a String argument this gives an error! what could i do in order to fix this problem?
From what you have I think that features is a Collection of Doubles - is that right?
And what you want to do is the following:
features.add(mymethod("some string"));
If thats the case I dont see the problem I'm afraid - where is the error being thrown?
Provided your mymethod returns a valid double I cant see what else would cause you a problem here.

Xcode won't run or step into one of my called methods

I'm not sure what's expected for me to leave here, but basically, I've passed an object of type AwesomeMenu into an ActionControl object's (subclass of NSOBject) initializer class so that the ActionControl object has a reference to the AwesomeMenu. However, in one of the ActionControl functions, there is a call like
[self.menu updateButton];
Where self.menu is the AwesomeMenu and updateButton is a function within AwesomeMenu. For some reason, XCode never enters updateButton. I've tried setting up breakpoints inside updateButton. They don't ever trip. I tried stepping INTO updateButton (it just shows me the parameters and then it skips past the line without taking me into the function), etc. I don't get any errors either. My chosen path through the program takes me over that function call multiple times but it never actually calls.
What's happening?
I did not assign self.menu prior to calling one of its functions; self.menu's value was nil. I just had to switch my initialization statements around to get it to work.

Out parameters of user defined types in Oracle with BLToolkit

I have been trying to use BLToolkit to activate an Oracle stored procedure which takes a User Defined Type as an argument as an output parameter and changes it.
I have managed to do this on a primitive type, and and also by manually calling SetSpCommamd however I would like to use the abstract class generation method but can't seem to get it to work.
I'm pretty sure the code I wrote is correct (works for the primitive). When debugging I found the SetSpCommamd called by the generated code gets wierd parameters instead of the ones I provided as opposed to when I call the method manually (the it gets the exact parameters I'd like). I wish I could see the code generated by the reflection emit to see what's wrong there.
Can anyone please help me figure out why this is not working?
Found the problem (Potentially a bug in BLToolkit).
BLToolkit does not pass the UDT Class as is to the procedure (instead it tries to flatten it or something and pass the insides of the object). I Changed the object to a Struct instead of a Class and that fixed it.
Later on I also changed it back to class and made a patch in the 'IsScaler()' method in BLToolkits code.
I will report this as a Bug I hope they fix it.
