Hi I have an Objective-C iPhone application developed using Xcode. I have a singleton object which serves as the database controller. I use the SQLite C APIs to interact with the database. It works really well but I’m curious about something.
In my app, I declare my database instance variable like this. (It is a member of the DatabaseController class) sqlite3 *_database; My usage is like this: int openCode = sqlite3_open(databasePathC, &_database); I was poking around in FMDB’s source code on github. FMDB is a widely used Objective-C wrapper around SQLite. I was looking to see what they do out of curiosity. FMDB declares and uses the database variable like this: void *_database; int openCode = sqlite3_open(databasePathC, (sqlite3**)&_database); So my question is this: is there some advantage to declaring the database variable as a void pointer and casting it as sqlite3 verses just declaring it as sqlite3? Thanks for creating SQLite!
