It's done all the time. You should read up on Objective-C 2.0 properties, though, to learn when it's best to use properties.

Is the non-protected access of instance variables from functions defined inside of @implementations documented anywhere? I'm wondering if this some secret thing that I shouldn't use, or something that's actually pretty common used?



@interface Foo : NSObject
{
        int special;
}

- (void)print;

@end




@implementation Foo

static inline void dotheprint(Foo * self)
{
NSLog(@"%d", self->special); // If defined outside @imp it'd give a compiler error
}

- (id)init;
{
        [super init];
        special = 5;
        return self;
}

- (void)print;
{
        dotheprint(self);
}

@end
