Hi and thanks a lot to anybody! I posted some answer before, but since it included a screenshot I’m afraid it didn’t make it through. I was just trying to show that when I access an iVar of ‘self’ in the C-function (e.g. self -> _egg), Xcode autocompletion pop-up shows the iVars list, but each one is crossed-off; I was wondering if this was an Xcode bug.

No, it would be perfectly fine. The way SQLite works, after a query is submitted, the thread is suspended and a callback is repeatedly executed to store each row of the result, until the response is exhausted; the query-thread is then released (i.e. the query submission call returns). So there is no risk for the calling object to be de-allocated (at least the way I code it). > Apple's recommended alternative to having a struct contain an object is to > use a class instead of a struct.

Makes me think of that French saying: “it’s like using a pneumatic drill to crack a nut”. Thanks for everybody’s advice. _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
