I'm dealing with some code that returns results out of order, but the
results contain the proper index. In the end, I'd like to put them all
into an NSArray, but unlike a C array, NSArray doesn't seem to allow
me to simply reserve X number of slots and fill the slots as the
results come in.
One workaround I can see is to actually store the results in a C
array, and then initialize the NSArray from the C array. I could also
write an algorithm that would try to rearrange the NSMutableArray as
results come back, but that seems more complicate. Initializing from a
C array looks like the best bet, but this is a commonly called
function of the software that is performance sensitive, and could be
dealing with large sets of data, so I was wondering about the overhead
of this approach.
Has anyone here run into a similar situation?
Thanks,
Colin
