You may fire off observer methods too, which is probably undesirable.

Lucky then, that I adopted GNUstep-style ASSIGN() and DESTROY() macros for these purposes, and since most of my code still needs to be 10.4-compatible, I've mostly been using those:

Though I vaguely remember getting lectured by someone about why it's better to *always* use the accessors a while ago ... wish I remembered what the reasoning behind that was, and why I thought it might be a good idea to follow that, but OTOH didn't follow it :-/

So why not go one step further and let macros generate the accessor for you (of course using the ASSIGN() macro inside those generated accessors)?


Well, I'm using ASSIGN in the mutators. Did you have an even more cunning plan that would work?
