The reason I ask is that either it isn't, or I misunderstand the phrase 'proper superset', because this code is valid C syntax: #import <stdio.h> int main () { char *nil = "hello"; printf("%s\n",nil); } But does not compile in Objective-C 2.0. Obv...

Accessing Instance Variables from NSTimer selector

Firstly newbie question: What's the difference between a selector and a method? Secondly newbie question (who would have thought): I need to loop some code based on instance variables and pause between loops until some condition (of course based on instance variables) is met. I've looked at sleep, I've looked at NSThread. In both dis...

Subclassing Cocoa means no subclass ivars in some cases?

The question is generally coming from self = [super init]. In case if I'm subclassing NSSomething and in my init's method self = [super init] returns object of different class, does it mean I am not able to have my very own ivars in my subclass, just because self will be pointing to different class? Appreciate if you could bring some ...
