You can't have non constant elements in struct initialisers, testy is not a 
constant.  The error message spells out exactly what the issue is.

This is not, by the way, an NSString specific issue.  The following gives the 
same error

typedef struct Foo
{
    int foo;
} Foo;
int anInt = 6;
Foo fooArray[] = {{ anInt }};

Use of the "const" keyword doesn't help.
