You're overriding the method, so it is up to you to implement the copying behaviour.

Greetings.

This is probably a stupid question.

if i have a property declared as
@property (readwrite, copy) NSString *name;

if I override the -(void) setName(NSString*)value{}

The object that I get as value is it already a copy?

And (I assume, for the same reason) that since the property is by default atomic, the override is also responsible for implementing any actual atomic behavior.

I mention this because (I'm embarrassed to admit) I never really thought about this till yesterday. I *think* other design decisions have made the atomic-ness irrelevant to any of the code I've written, but now I need to go back and check, especially where Core Data is involved.
