I think it's subject to the same criticisms as *any* direct access to ivars, although I agree it feels sketchier when done in plain C for some reason.

Which reminds me... instance methods can also directly access the ivars of *other* instances of the same class.

- (void)myMethod
{
    MyClass *otherInstance = [[MyClass alloc] init];

    NSLog(@"%@", otherInstance->myIvar);
}
