You probably meant this (without typo): > MyObject* foo = (__bridge MyObject*) someVoidPointer; I think, the assumption that __bridge is a simple type qualifier (like const or volatile) is false. It's rather a type conversion operator returning an object akin to an instance of a non-POD type. What you are seeking for would be probably this: MyObject* foo = __bridge_cast<MyObject*>(someVoidPointer); But this doesn't exist - unless you define it yourself ;) Andreas > > The error is: > > error: type name requires a specifier or qualifier > MyObject* me = reinterpret_cast<__bridge MyObject*> (inRefCon); > ^ > error: expected '>' > MyObject* me = reinterpret_cast<__bridge MyObject*> (inRefCon); > ^ >> > note: to match this '<' > MyObject* me = reinterpret_cast<__bridge MyObject*> (inRefCon); > ^ > Is it a bug in the compiler, or am I doing something wrong? > > TIA, > -- > Rick > > _______________________________________________ > > Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) > > Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list. > Contact the moderators at cocoa-dev-admins(at)lists.apple.com > > Help/Unsubscribe/Update your Subscription: > https://lists.apple.com/mailman/options/cocoa-dev/agrosam%40onlinehome.de > > This email sent to agro...@onlinehome.de _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
