Hi all,

This might be more of a C problem than a Cocoa problem per se.
Enumerating the values of an attribute dictionary in NSXMLReader I try to
set some members of a currentNode object (which does not represent an XML
node, confusingly):

        NSEnumerator *enumerator = [attributeDict keyEnumerator];
        id key;
        while ((key = [enumerator nextObject])) {
            NSLog(@"considering key %@",key);
            if([key isEqualToString:@"lat"])
            {
                currentNode.lat = (double)[attributeDict objectForKey:key];
            }

Member 'lat' is a double. The above does not work. 'Pointer value used where
float was expected'. So I should dereference?

                currentNode.lat = (double *)[attributeDict
objectForKey:key];

does not work either: 'error: incompatible type for argument 1 of
'setLat:''. I guess it wouldn't, because I'm casting an (id) to a pointer to
a double I think, but I'm not sure how I should be doing this.
