ObjC question


  • Subject: ObjC question
  • From: Tony Romano <email@hidden>

Using the sample below,  how do I get the instance of the class in which I am contained WITHOUT passing it as a parameter or using hacky sizeof tricks in the method Foo:method?  Thanks people!  If this is not the correct alias for this type of question, apologizes in advance.


@interface Foo : NSObject
{
	id containerClass;
}
-(void) method;
@end

@implementation Foo

-(void) method
{
	// set containerClass member to point to the instance in which I am contained
	// (i.e. the pointer to the instance of Bar.
	// 'self' refers to an instance of Foo
}
@end

**************************************************************************************

@interface Bar : NSObject
{
	Foo * f; // contains a Foo
}
@end

@implementation Bar
- (id) init
{
	...

	// Call 'method' on object 'f' of type Foo
	[f method];

	...
}
@end
