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:

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?

I am not sure it is cunning, but it's been working for over a decade: have macros to generate the accessors for you.


-----   snip   ------
#define setAccessor( type, var,setVar ) \
-(void)setVar:(type)newVar { \
    ASSIGN_ID(var,newVar)\
} \

#define readAccessor( type, var )\
-(type)var { return var; }

#define objectAccessor( objectType, var, setVar ) \
readAccessor( objectType, var )\
setAccessor( objectType, var,setVar )

#define idAccessor( var, setVar ) objectAccessor( id, var, setVar )
-----   snip   ------

So to create the accessors for "myVar", just write

idAccessor( myVar, setMyVar )


Cheers,

Marcel
