I got a little surprise today:
@interface MySuperClass : NSObject {
}
@property (nonatomic, copy) NSString* text;
@end
@implementation MySuperClass
@synthesize text;
@end
@interface MySubClass : MySuperClass...
And now, in MySubClass, if I try to talk about self->text, I get:
'struct MySubClass' has no member named 'text' (or the GCC equivalent)
Of course I can fix this in several ways, of which the most obvious is to
declare the ivar "text" explicitly in the interface for MySuperClass. But I'm
curious; why does it happen? I thought declaring the property without the ivar
meant that I was implicitly creating the ivar. And as far as the superclass is
concerned, it does mean that. Why doesn't the subclass know about this? Thx! m.
