Re: About iVars declaration and property

The synthesized ivars are private to the class that declares them. So you can use them as an ivar in that class's implementation, but not in a subclass implementation. Usually this is not a problem, but if you already have code that passes the ivar's address in a function call, for example, that won't work with a property.
