I just found this interesting article http://gemma.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/ObjectiveC/Articles/chapter_5_section_5.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP30001163-CH17-SW6
which states that properties and KVC are "orthogonal" and that property acessors using the dot notation is calling getter/setter methods and NOT setValue:forKey(Path): so object.property = newvalue does not result in the the same method call as [object setValue:newvalue forKey:@"property"] Although the result is probably the same, it is translated into [object setProperty:newvalue]; This might be important for the Objc-2.0 translator project. -- hns _______________________________________________ Discuss-gnustep mailing list Discuss-gnustep@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss-gnustep
