The only other way is to do it is manually by setting the struct members.

typedef struct {
        signed int _exponent:8;
        unsigned int _length:4;
        unsigned int _isNegative:1;
        unsigned int _isCompact:1;
        unsigned int _reserved:18;
        unsigned short _mantissa[NSDecimalMaxSize];
} NSDecimal;

I don't think so. As I pointed out in my original post, the struct fields are private, according to "Foundation Data Types Reference". I don't know if Obj-C enforces a restriction such as struct fields being private but if it doesn't, I'd rather not write code that could break in the future if Apple decides to change the struct.

I'll stick with creating an NSDecimalNumber and then extracting the NSDecimal struct using -decimalValue.

Thanks to everyone who contributed to answer my question.
