Originator:hamish
Number:rdar://38299852 Date Originated:March 9 2018, 1:21 PM
Status:Open Resolved:
Product:Xcode Product Version:9.2 (9C40b)
Classification:Serious Bug Reproducible:Always
 
Summary:
Passing `NSArray` literal inside `XCTAssertEqualObjects` causes compile error, whereas passing stack variable from same literal does not.

Steps to Reproduce:
Open enclosed Xcode project

Expected Results:
```
    XCTAssertEqualObjects(array, [self methodTakingArray:@[ @"hello", @"world" ]]);
```
should compile the same as:
```
    NSArray *array = @[ @"hello", @"world" ];
    XCTAssertEqualObjects(array, [self methodTakingArray:array]);
```

Actual Results:
The former succeeds where the latter fails.

Version/Build:
Xcode 9.2 (9C40b)

Configuration:
macOS 10.13.3
