Variables names are for refering to the objects during compilation.
At runtime, variable names get turned into machine addresses. So I
think you are thinking of something else.
Care to tell us what?
objects? do you mean classes or instances there?
no i am not thinking of something else. my point is that the number of
and the names of the object instances that i wish to use during
runtime is unknown at compilation.
Having a number of objects at runtime, the number of which is not know
at compile time is normal. However, you keep saying "objects and
names" together as if they were closely related, which they aren't.
Objects do not have names. Variables have names.
hence why i'm asking for object instance variable names.
I can see why you want multiple objects, most apps do. What do you
need separate "names" for?
i've already written several emails - read those, and if what i want
still isn't clear (which i'm not saying is unlikely - far from it - i
realise that it may still not be clear) but there's no point in me
repeating all that. i get the feeling you haven't seen the previous
mails.
I have seen most of them.
