Problem with NSMutableArray

Question

Hi, I have a problem with NSMutableArray. In my program i have a lot of variabile "CFSocketRef". i want to save this in NSMutableArray but i can't. Can you help me? Thank and sorry for my english XP

My code:

CFSocketRef     socketAccept;
NSMutableArray  *arrayIP = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];



self.socketAccept = CFSocketCreateWithNative(NULL,
                                  fd, 
                                  kCFSocketDataCallBack,
                                  AcceptDataCallback, 
                                  &context);

[arrayIP    addObject:(id)self.socketAccept];

Answer 1

Box the CFSocketRef into an NSValue using the valueWithPointer: method, then put the NSValue into the array.

Answer 2

You can put a CFSocketRef into a NSMutableArray by wrapping it inside a NSValue:

CFSocketRef socketAccept;
NSMutableArray *arrayIP = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
socketAccept = ...
NSValue *val = [NSValue valueWithPointer:socketAccept];
[arrayIP addObject:val];

Use pointerValue to retrieve the value:

CFSocketRef socketAccept = (CFSocketRef) [val pointerValue];
