Hi. I'm a bit curious about the Objective-C 2.0 property/synthesize mechanism. In all examples I've seen, an instance variable is declared for each property. But if I leave out the instance variable like in the following example, everything works fine, too.
---------------------------------------------------------------------- #import <Foundation/Foundation.h> #import <stdio.h> @interface MyClass : NSObject @property NSInteger number; @end @implementation MyClass : NSObject @synthesize number; @end int main() { MyClass *obj = [[MyClass alloc] init]; [obj setNumber: 77]; printf("%d\n", (int)[obj number]); [obj release]; return 0; } ---------------------------------------------------------------------- So my question: What are the (possible) problems/implications if I leave out the declarations of instance variable of properties? What are the recommendations? More specific: Does the above also work/run on iOS? -- Until the next mail..., Stefan. _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
