Several work arounds exist. The easiest is to create a static C member function (yes, ObjC has member *functions* which most people overlook).

Well no, it doesn't. ObjC has functions, by virtue of being a superset
of C, but it does not have "member functions". You can write functions
that are logically associated with a class, but this is a human
construct, not one that the compiler knows about.

Not sure what compiler you're using, but mine can tell the difference:

#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>

@interface Foo : NSObject {
@private id a;
}
@end

static id plainCFunction(Foo* f);
static id memberCFunction(Foo* f);

static id plainCFunction(Foo* f) {
        return f->a;
}

@implementation Foo
static id memberCFunction(Foo* f) {
        return f->a;
}
@end


/tmp/members/members.m: In function 'plainCFunction':
/tmp/members/members.m:12: warning: instance variable 'a' is @private; this will be a hard error in the future
