Hi all,

If I implement a custom setter for an NSManagedObject attribute, what
can/can't I do?

For example, can I do nothing if the old and new values are the same?

- (void)setSalary:(NSNumber*)newsalary
{
    get current salary
    compare with newsalary
    if different
        [self willChangeValueForKey:@"salary"];
        [self setPrimitiveValue:newsalary forKey:@"salary"];
        [self didChangeValueForKey:@"salary"];
}

Or is it required to _always_ call willChange/setPrimitive/didChange?

Most of the time I use CD's dynamically generated accessors, but
occasionally I implement custom ones.  I couldn't find a general
discussion of what can and can't be done safely in much methods.

Thanks,
