Sorry if this is naïve but I have a quick follow up q (to verify that I am
understanding ObjC correctly). Is it true that:
The two styles seem to me to have slightly different execution paths. The
first:
[self.fieldArray addObject:inFoo]
Would actually invoke the property accessor fieldArray and then send the
message addObject: to the returned result, i.e. Its equivalent to:
[[self getfieldArray] addObject:inFoo]
While the second form [fieldArray addObject:inFoo] would directly use the
member variable.
So if you (for some reason) chose to have a more complicated accessor that
is not simply backed by an ivar, the former may have some potential side
effects, yes?
Thanks,
Phoenix
