Hi, I can't find any mention of if in the documentation but I need to know: how safe is it to use the dictionary returned from "attributesAtIndex:effectiveRange" after I've made changes to the attributed string? More specifically, I'm worried that maybe what I'm getting (at least sometimes) is not a copy of the dictionary at that point but the actual mutable dictionary off the string data structure and that it may be changed when I'm making changes to the attributed string.
For example: NSDictionary* myAttributes; [myMutableAttributedString addAttribute:@"my attribute" value:[NSNumber numberWithInt:10] range:NSMakeRange(0,10)]; myAttributes=[myMutableAttributedString attributesAtIndex:4 effectiveRange:NULL]; [myMutableAttributedString addAttribute:@"my attribute" value:[NSNumber numberWithInt:20] range:NSMakeRange(0,10)]; anAttribute=[myAttributes attributesAtIndex:4 effectiveRange:NULL]; Is anAttribute guaranteed to be equal to 10?
