Hi everyone,
I was looking over an article on properties:
http://www.cocoacast.com/?q=node/103
and I noticed the notation "->", which I am a bit unfamiliar with. It looks as
though it is a way to access the getter method from an object such as:
instance->property_name
Atleast, that's what I think is going on.. I have always done this as:
[instance property_name]
.. However, I tried doing the -> way in a test command-line tool and when I
did, I got a warning that an instance variable was protected and it will be a
hard failure in the future..
So obviously I am not understanding exactly what "->" is... From that error,
it seems like it's just a way to access an instance variable from within an
class----- but... why would you need to do self->var_name ? you should just be
able to do var_name by itself.. Right?
