http://bill.welliver.org//space/pike/Objective C Bridge/Problems<i class="ital">A list of current engineering issues related to development of the Objective-C bridge. Intended primarily as a reminder of things left unfinished at the end of a long day. Comments are always welcome!</i><p class="paragraph"/> <b class="bold">problem:</b> when the objective-c runtime calls a function from a pike object inherited from an objective-c class, the objective-c implementation of the function does not receive the pike scope of the object. as a result, if that objective-c implemented function (init, for example) returns itself, it returns the embedded native objective-c object rather than the "full" (pike + objective-c) object.<p class="paragraph"/> <b class="bold">proposed workaround:</b> check to see if the returned objective-c level object is the same as the object returned. if it is, then the method returned itself and we can simply return the original pike object.<p class="paragraph"/> <b class="bold">discussion:</b> are there side effects to this method? does it always work?Fins 0.9.7http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss
