well can you manage the lifetime of the CGPoints well enough to use valueWithPointer: which, if I read it correctly, doesn't free the pointer when it's done? Or just write your own NSObject derivation you can pass a CGPoint to, by value and have it copied, or as a pointer, but which it owns

I just realized valueWithPoint is not available on the iPhone SDK and, I can't understand why, it can't be discussed here. Both things of course suck! :) Thanks a lot, chr On Tue, Sep 16, 2008 at 11:24 AM, Graham Cox <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > On 16 Sep 2008, at 7:18 pm, Christian Giordano

Hi guys, I'm finding myself trying to add to mutable containers like NSMutableDictionary or NSMutableArray instead of NSObjects subclasses, just structs. For instance in a NSMutableDictionary the key was an integer defined with #define. In this case I sort it with: ... forKey:[[NSNumber alloc] ini
