The XCode input redirection method used in the tutorial is ~7yrs old. It only allows input redirection of a file hardcoded at compile time.
EECS281 has since moved on to a more advanced (and useful) method that allows arbitrary input redirection, which can be controlled via regular cli (i.e. adding
< myInput > myOutputto the command line arguments).This header is well tested, and is recommended to every EECS281 XCode user. It takes minimally more effort (an extra command to download a header file), and provides a much better experience.
This commit is the start of efforts to base most of the EECS281 setup guides off of the EECS280 setup guides.
(Well, officially based off of them, instead of copy-pasted with small modifications)
