Struct Data Types

Subject: Struct Data Types

Consider the following methods of NSView.

    - (NSRect)frame

    - (NSWindow *)window

And consider the parameter types.

    (NSRect) is a pointer to a structure

    (NSWindow *) is a pointer to an object


Why didn't Apple design struct data types like this?

    - (NSRect *)frame

Is it because when ever you see the parameter type (NSFoo *) you should think object and when ever you see the parameter type (NSBar) you should think struct?
