First of all: thank you. You solved my problem.


There's no real way to enforce privateness, either in Objective-C or C++.

Why not in C++?


And why not in Obj-C ? The new runtime (64 bits, non-fragile) declare a symbol for each ivar. Private ivars are not exported by default, so you cannot access them without running into a linker error.


That said, if you know the layout of a specific object (either in C++ and Obj-C) you can cast it into a blob and access the memory directly. That's maybe why he said you cannot enforce privateness.
