        <div>
        <pre>When inspecting blocks in a project built with the latest version of Xcode (4.6
which has the following version of clang: 425.0.24 (based on LLVM 3.2svn), I
realized that global blocks do not have a signature in the descriptor member
and indeed the BLOCK_HAS_SIGNATURE flag is not set.

A quick look through CGBlocks.cpp does seem to intend that global block are
emitted with a signature given that the buildGlobalBlock function sets the
flag:

BlockFlags flags = BLOCK_IS_GLOBAL | BLOCK_HAS_SIGNATURE;

However, it doesn’t seem to happen in practice. Is there something I am
misinterpreting or is it actually intended behaviour? I feel two blocks ought
to be inspectable in the same way, disregarding their actual type.</pre>
