Accessing pointer structure members inside block function

What is the recommended way of accessing pointer structure members inside
a block function?

Consider the following code:

    obj->width = 320;
    obj->height = 240;

    dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{
        printf("WIDTH: %d HEIGHT: %d\n", obj->width, obj->height);
    });

    obj->width = 640;
    obj->height = 480;

I *always* want the block function to use the variable values at the
time of the *declaration* of the block function, not at the time of
its execution, i.e. obj->width and ->height should always be 320 and 240,
respectively, in the block function above.

What is the recommended way of doing this? Should I just assign them
to temporary variables whose values are never changed, e.g.

    obj->width = 320;
    obj->height = 240;

    tmpwidth = obj->width;
    tmpheight = obj->height;

    dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{
        printf("WIDTH: %d HEIGHT: %d\n", tmpwidth, tmpheight);
    });

    obj->width = 640;
    obj->height = 480;

Or is there a nicer solution? I'm asking because the temporary variable
solution can become quite ugly if there are many variables...
