BOOL - Any simple foundation class?

[cdstamper]

Hey everyone,

I'm working on a subclass of NSObject and I need a few Boolean iVars.

Is there some kind of NSBoolean or something? Am I stuck having to use BOOL?

If I have to use Bool, should I do anything differently? Is is safe to have pubice methods return Bool objects? What about memory managment? I never really did understand the C thing...

Thanks for any tips!

Just BOOL. Memory management doesn't apply, since BOOL is not an object.

So if it's not an object, can I treat it like and object? I.e. will I have problems if I use a BOOL ivar in my object? Can I still create properties for it, and use it for method return types?

Thanks!

Well, not treating it like an object, per se. But you can treat it like any other variable.

Properties, yes, but use assign, not retain. Synthesize them as you would for any property, but don't release them in dealloc.
