Re: passing pointers

I had to declare the objects as pointers and allocate them memory in the program
eg:
object *obj (in the first class)
[obj alloc....];(class 1)

object *obj2 (in the second class)
obj2 = [outlet getObject];

all i want is for obj2 to point to the same object as obj.

To get the address of a variable, use &obj. Are you sure that's what you want to do? If obj is a pointer to an Objective-C object, such as in 'NSDictionary * obj;' , then it is already a pointer to an object. You should be able to return it normally with 'return obj;'

object obj;
//...
-(object *) function:(id)sender
{
return &obj;
}

decleration:
- (object *) function:(id)sender;
implementation:
-(object *) function:(id)sender
{
return *obj;
}
call:
obj2 = [outlet function];

what am i doing wrong ? Thanks. _______________________________________________
