Is there a safe way to "convert" a CGFloat
to a NSNumber
?
NSNumber
has the numberWithFloat:
and numberWithDouble:
methods but CGFloat
being defined as float
or double
depending on the platform, it seems risky to use either one of them.
Or is numberWithDouble:
safe to use with a CGFloat
, as it is the one with the more precision ?
I believe @
NSNumber
literal is good enough
@(myCGFloat)

This is how I handled it:
@interface NSNumber (CGFloatAdditions)
+ (NSNumber*)numberWithCGFloat: (CGFloat)value;
- (CGFloat)CGFloatValue;
@end
@implementation NSNumber (CGFloatAdditions)
+ (NSNumber*)numberWithCGFloat: (CGFloat)value
{
#if CGFLOAT_IS_DOUBLE
return [NSNumber numberWithDouble: (double)value];
#else
return [NSNumber numberWithFloat: value];
#endif
}
- (CGFloat)CGFloatValue
{
#if CGFLOAT_IS_DOUBLE
return [self doubleValue];
#else
return [self floatValue];
#endif
}
@end
CGFLOAT_IS_DOUBLE
is defined in CGBase.h
conditionally by platform.
